1,850 words edited. Fixing dialogues, mistakes and inserting appropriate foreshadowing. It’s fun…

It was a fruitful Saturday.
I am slowly getting into the rhythm of Editing.
Even so, I am running behind. That's why I still have the 🐢 badge.

In my animal epic fantasy, stars are ancestors watching over the living after sunset. The sky is their final home. Evil critters? They rot in the ground and become food for others.
Trying to keep this clever but clear... think you can top it?

After exploring quite a bit of fantasy nap creation tools, I finally settled with - my super scratchy amateurish skills.
Now that I procrastinated enough, going back to writing my final 4 chapters.
Do you want to see what I cooked up though ? 👇

Writing dialogue can be tricky. Sometimes I know what my characters need to say, but not how their conversation starts.
So I work backwards… from the line I want to land on, tracing back step-by-step until everything flows naturally.
How do you solve tricky conversations?

I had an intense planning session with myself to plan the next few scenes in my story. The kind where I would like a mad man talking to himself.
It will be so so sweet if I finish the draft before this month ends. I dude can wish.

I've heard so much about The Way of Kings that I was sure I'd been spoiled. But without context, it just felt like seeing epic trailer shots. Now, listening to Oathbringer, I'm constantly guessing when those moments will pop up. It's a strange but fun kind of anticipation

FINALLY got my ARC form live! Took me a whole day (and some “wait, how does this work?” moments 😅).
Now it’s ready for you. Sign-up if you want to hang out with the strangest bunch of critters - bear, an owl, and a monkey, and see what they are up to.

Tracking Multiple characters, different pieces of info, aspects of world building —it’s tricky!
Huge respect to authors like George R.R. Martin and Brandon Sanderson who manage this seamlessly in their massive books.

Today's Update:
What I wanted: uninterrupted writing time.
What I found: a wild swarm of chores and office work. I am sure my novel is starting to think I’ve ghosted it…
“Hold tight, pal! Tomorrow, you’re top of my to-do list.”

Clocked in my writing hours, wrangled some stubborn characters, and made some good progress.
Now rushing off before my brain decides to “just tweak one more scene.”
Still 5 chapters remaining!!

By the way… this is my Work in progress. A light hearted fantasy novel set in a world of animals. It has magical realism, portals, realms, magic broom sticks, carpets and even a strange artifact that’s just the pinky finger. And of course a cozy but kick ass adventure.
