Beta feedback can be difficult to parse through sometimes, especially when it feels like every reader had a different takeaway 😂
Any tips on comparing all the feedback and deciding how to use it?

You know, it's interesting how one first draft can end up mostly whole and continuous but require a ton of rewriting, while another can have a million incomplete chapters but need almost no rearranging or rewriting.
Every project really is different.

Gonna have to go over my cover letter again soon. My least favorite part is the personalization. I'm just really bad at making it sound sincere even when it really is 😂
Have you written a cover letter for agents? What's the easiest/hardest part?

It feels so crazy to actually be getting close to done with this book! I want to celebrate the accomplishment a bit but never really know how.
How do you like to celebrate your writing wins, both big and small?

I've recently been working out my editing process. It's probably going to be a bit different for each book, but I think I'm finally getting a feel for when and why that's the case.
Do you have a certain editing process, or does it change with each project as well?

#WritingCommunity, is there a genre you hope to try writing in someday but haven't yet?
For me, it's mystery. I love a good cozy murder and I'm excited to try writing one eventually, but boy does my writer brain not work that way naturally 😂

Thanks so much for including me, Paul!
The odious Trump seeks to drive a wedge between people from #Canada and #USA. Yet North Americans are some of the finest people I follow. So here’s the first of 3 packs celebrating them. Great North Americans, #writers, #campaigners, #poets and other really good people. Please follow and repost
