You know it’s been a good #writing day when you’re eager to get to sleep just so you can wake up and get back to writing again. ☺️

My Writing Process

When I have hours to write: struggle to work through plot issues, slow pacing, feel stuck - little gets written

When I’m leaving/going to bed in 5 minutes: plot holes solved, pacing problems fixed - scribbles notes hoping I remember it all tomorrow

Not to brag, but I just fixed an issue in my MS that has been bothering me for the past 5 drafts. It might be little, but I’m proud of me.

My overwriting self cut 4 whole lines from chapter 1 of my latest draft. I made lots of other edits too, but I’m trying to cut 30k words from my book, so removing 4 whole lines feels like progress.

Sometimes when I feel stuck with my own MS, it helps to give my writer friends feedback on their work. Seeing their efforts & progress, and hearing their encouragement to me makes a big difference. #CritiquePartners #WriterFriends #Motivation

If anyone has any advice you are willing to share for how to write a 1 page synopsis for a dual POV middle grade novel, I’d be most thankful.

Today I sent my agent a draft of a picture book. She didn’t know I wrote one, & I have no idea if she wants to look at it. But after feeling stuck & overwhelmed by everything internally & externally, it felt good take an action toward my publishing goal, even if it was just a little one.

Got a new library card today, so now I have access to even more books! 😁 📚

My creativity & joy has been lost for weeks. But today I’m taking the advice from my critique group to try to work on revising my MS. It’s far more of a struggle than it’s even been before. But I need to do something to remind myself writing is my joy.

Did I #write my book today? No. But I did write a letter & I hope that the knowledge that I did something to make my voice heard will help get me back in my writing mind again.

11yo Betsy has hearing issues, but these stupid hearing aids can’t fix her real problems. She’ll have to learn to accept her new reality if she wants any hope of repairing her broken friendships, or achieving her drama club dreams.
