#AmWritingFantasy Here’s a teaser of my new WIP!
🧚🏻 It’s a spin-off sequel to Thorns Among Shadows!
🧚🏻 It’s about Meira and Gaelen’s daughter, Elara (so it’ll be good to have read Thorns!)
🧚🏻 It’s *loosely* inspired by Snow White, particularly with the magic mirror
Follow me for more!

I printed out my #nanowrimo draft, so I can start going through and making notes (which I doubt will take me that long to do XD). It’s only 56 single sided pages 🤦🏻♀️. I think resisting starting edits is gonna be harder than originally thought.

They say to wait at least a month before starting on edits, but I don’t think I can wait that long, and I *hate* editing. I plan on at least making notes.
Besides waiting, what are your biggest tips for starting edits on a novella?
