ALSO I would count a book deal or getting 1 million subscribers as 'winning the lottery'
I'm looking into my next formal education steps and it feels like I either have to win the lottery or finish it over 20 years. Which I am find with either outcome, but there's definitely one I prefer

I always planned for this manuscript would be a little test run for querying that I could learn from and makes some mistakes now . But I didn't realize how quickly I would want to give up on it. 1/3

In one of my wips I am doing revisions and in the other I am rereading to figure out what needs to be changed
And I think my problem with editing is the latter. I love working, I love writing, and I love fixing things. But having to figure out what to fix is a bit more difficult

With the goal to finish dev edits by the end of the month, that means I have a lot of editing to do. To keep myself on track, I made a little chapter checklist that I will update every week.
This week I skipped chapter 11 because it was too hard and did 14 because I was combining it with 10!

This book already had favorite child status from me, but I just edited it for 2 hours straight and could keep going... like don't worry baby, nothing is coming to top you. You don't have to make me love you more

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 86: You don't have to go far to get ideas. They're everywhere around you. What you need is to train your mind to see the familiar in a new and unfamiliar way. Change angles. Play with perspective. Take tired tropes and wake them up.

I know some people say not to set up writing sessions in terms of time spent and instead focus on word count, which I agree with for writing, but the same DOES NOT apply for editing
I recently switched to editing for an hour instead of chapter limits, and I feel like I am getting so much more done

In high school my friends used to call me Lee(as Hailey is a lot like saying hi to someone named Lee)
So when I ended up with a character named Lee, I knew what I had to do

I’ve been putting the whole ‘doing a little bit is better than nothing’ mindset recently and you’d be surprised at the results
