Officially past the 2/3rds mark for this first draft! The end is near, but hopefully not much less than 20k words away. 😅

Rewrote the first paragraph nine times today?
Blind write in Edda blurs everything except the paragraph you are typing. Nothing to reread, just the next sentence.

Stop rereading. Keep going.
Blind write blurs every paragraph but the one you are typing, so the inner editor has nothing to fix.

Authors, what's that one scene in your book that you keep thinking about even when you're not writing? 👀 Is it a heartbreaking moment, a plot twist, or a scene you're excited for readers to discover?

I'm exhausted today. This entry ended with "Eleanor was restless" which are probably someone's famous last words.

You control what you share with the world.
Even if it is ROUGH (looking at you my sweet first outline of my first manuscript),
You can always make it better later.

First draft of book 2 in a new duology is finished (and beyond bloated at 138k words instead of 90k).
Usually I would jump into editing, but this time I’m taking a break and making myself celebrate the small wins of finishing the draft.
Creatives- what do you do to celebrate your wins?
