Given that my purpose for writing is so people will judge it - positively or negatively - I would simply write something else! Give me judgement! Give me readers who care about my words, whatever that response is, at least I will have generated emotion.

Do you think i have enough craft books to fix this character arc issue? No?
Do you have a favourite writing craft book?

What a great name choice 😜
Endings are so difficult i swear! What do you mean I have to tie it together???
Means that it feels so good when it does come together though!! You've got this!!
Haha its true! My book is a cosy fantasy, how about yours?
Sometimes writing isn't wordcount increases and sprints and edits
Sometimes it's thinky showers and staring at a wall and carrying a notebook everywhere
Anyone else in the percolation stage between drafts?

Love!!
Hah this is very relatable 🤣
I leave things pretty open in my first drafts and then get more detailed for revisions (though I'm not scared to veer off track when needed!)
I'm plotting my next draft, actually! Diving into character arcs and overarching plots, then breaking it down by scene.
What are you working on at the mo?
When the book needs work but life admin keeps getting in the way 😭
Now, booking a holiday is the BEST kind of admin, but does it need so many hours of research?
(I have a toddler. Yes it does.)
Destination chosen. Can we go back to the fictional world now? 😅

I read the first one - Scott and Kip - but didn't really connect with the writing style so decided to watch the show instead of read HR. The acting is phenomenal for sure! No regrets
Sameeeee. I've not read the sequel but I have spent too much time on ao3 so I have seen enough spoilers to know the broad strokes. The show is done so well though I kinda want it to be my first impression
HR killed me lately too haha its so compelling!!
Nice one!
Nothing like that finished draft feeling!
*immediately starts outlining draft 3*

Ah I am really struggling to focus on the writing this week!
What are your tricks for getting your head in the zone when other things get so loud?

Oh I'd forgotten about those! Something to look forward to later this year 😌
That is such amazing stats! Wow! Well done that book, and you for the resilience!
Oh I've been spiraling into madness at the 30k mark of draft one... am I doing it wrong? 🤔
Ooh yes I pretty much write standalones, sequels are a scary one for me! Good luck!
Ooh I've not heard of clustering, I'll have to look into it.
Sounds like an exciting project!!
That can happen???
(Yay! It's such a good feeling when the words flow)
That's great!! I will say my big plot work did come in after the first draft, I dont seem able to do it to that level from nothing.
So glad you have a book you're pleased with out of it!
I love it when setting becomes a character!! It makes things feel so vibrant 🤩
🥰🥰 I definitely will. Excited to see how your journey continues 💕
Nice!! I've been learning how to write sex scenes in my current WIP as well. It's a tricky balance, so good job!!
I love the art style!
That artwork is great!! What a beautiful cover! 🤩
Taking one look at your profile... lol ignore that question. It looks like the opposite! They look like a great quest party though!
