I love writing the last four chapters of a book. Everything moves fast, and the plot comes together in a crescendo! ☕💀📚

I took most of a month off from writing ... and just went back and read the first 8 chapters of Mystic Brews 11. "That's a fun mystery! I wonder what happens next?" I mused as I hit save.
Guess I better figure that out soon!

This is why I recommend Kobo+ to my readers. Kobo does NOT require exclusivity to be in the plus program (like Kindle Unlimited). #Kobo

I sooooo feel this every book I write. Usually about chapter five it starts growling, then by chapter 10 the plot is ripping up the couch cushions and chasing stray animals around the office...
