I think my editor in chief is a little too smug sometimes.

There's a fine line between aphorisms and limerence.

I feel at times I am at an impasse with the idea of 'unrequited' sometimes.

The second draft is a lot heavier than the first both in content and literal weight.
I think I've finally had that 'breakthrough' moment where the path becomes clearer and the story I'm trying to tell begins to find its voice.

Picture shows Jay holding the manuscript for 'Echoes of My Heart' with a piece of paper stating: "Second Draft 5/1/24 124 pages 5,125 words~"

It really is something of an enigmatic relationship.

It's such a surreal experience to have the first draft of my book in front of me.
On one hand- excitement and euphoria. On the other, the weight of it presses down further.
There's so much more to do now that my life's work is a tangible reality.
