Days 4&5 were spent working, socializing, and recovering from work. A tiny bit sad that Double Down Days happen on my busiest work day. But most people post the recordings so I can find one and sprint along tomorrow. #RoughDraftChallenge

Os actualizo un poquito sobre el #roughdraftchallenge: llevo 3/4 tareas hechas. En el proceso de edición me he centrado en la parte escrita del poemario; la visual tendrá que esperar porque continúa cambiando. Ahora me toca pasar a la temida maquetación. ¡A ver qué tal! Última semana ✨

I said I wasn't going to do any writing today, but I edit each chapter and post it on AO3 before moving on to the next one. I added 77 words to chapter 11 this morning during edits and those words COUNT!

Only 874 today on #CaveOfEndlessStars because I spent today prioritizing another project that's slated to head out to newsletter subs on Monday. Hopefully will wrap that project up tomorrow so I can focus more on drafting this weekend (and not skip any date nights!). #RoughDraftChallenge #Romantasy

#RoughDraftChallenge 11/14: 1,785 words today for 43,760 total! Honestly no idea where I am on the beat sheet by now, it's a mystery, we'll figure out when we get there. Discovery writing for the win.
Excited to write the next scene though! Been planning it in my head for a WHILE.

Writing a book is messy. It’s emotional. It’s thrilling. And, let’s be honest—it’s downright chaotic. But that’s the magic of a rough draft! I’m diving into the #RoughDraftChallenge.

Day 3 1105/10k feels like cheating since I didn't delete scenes that no longer work & typing a bit that I had handwritten awhile ago. 10k isn't going to get me as far along in the plot as I thought. Can’t edit a blank page, right? #RoughDraftChallenge
