Day 18 of seeing how much I can write before my dogs want to go on a walk! Again, it wasn't much. BUT! The walk made Juniper sleepy, and we celebrated together as I finished my second draft!! 🥳

I wanted to finish before the end of Nov, and I did it!

I loved The Mean Ones by @thebuffwriter.bsky.social, from the relatable yet unique main character to the plot that kept me hooked. It had me wondering what was going to happen next every page, and I flew through it!
I highly recommend it!

A reverse outline is when you write out what happens in every scene of your first draft. It's been a helpful exercise when looking at my manuscript!

Do you use reverse outlines? 👀

I celebrated finishing my first draft by going to my town's Italian festival, which makes some appearences in my book. The timing was impeccable!! And yes, my town has... interesting traditions.

Come with me to the Big Ohio Book Con! I had such a fun day meeting fellow readers and artists! I came away with a big bookish merch haul, too. 👀 I also had the honor of getting my copy of Such Lovely Skin signed by Tatiana Schlote-Bonne. 🤩

I'm taking the @writingmastery.bsky.social Fast Drafting Course and applying it so my current draft. And, of course, I'm chronicling it!

There's something called a "pre-writing ritual." AKA, a series of things you do before every writing session. I tested it out today!

I attended the Fast Draft Webinar by Jessica Brody at @writingmastery.bsky.social, and it was so helpful!! Here are my biggest takeaways.

I can't wait to start drafting. 🤩
Do you have any tips for writing a draft quickly? 👀
