the first title for KNEADING ANSWERS was Hot Cocoa for Two but then my creative writing professor said it was too childish so I changed it to Christmas in Code before deciding that was too formal and settling on KNEADING ANSWERS

the first draft of this book was 130k, and this latest draft is looking like its going to be under 90k. But it's wild how little the structure of the story has changed, I just had a lot of unnecessary scenes #writingcommunity

I always planned for this manuscript would be a little test run for querying that I could learn from and makes some mistakes now . But I didn't realize how quickly I would want to give up on it. 1/3

With the goal to finish dev edits by the end of the month, that means I have a lot of editing to do. To keep myself on track, I made a little chapter checklist that I will update every week.
This week I skipped chapter 11 because it was too hard and did 14 because I was combining it with 10!

This week I signed up to take surveys on YouGov(which I highly recommend you do as well), and they were asking questions on immigration and then asked this.
Made me laugh. I need to see the results

Nichola didn't know what to expect when she became a jester, but it wasn't finding out Lady Elvira was a court assassin.
Will she escape the death associated with her new role, or will Lady Elvira's descent into madness bring her down?

Every chef in the city declined to cater the biggest Christmas party. Expect Viola.
Her reason for doing it is why they all turned it down: the late Chef Eric's cookbook. The book written in code that no one has solved. The book her new co-chef, Luke, happens to have.
