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?

Over the years, I've taught a fair number of fiction classes, and I thought it would be fun to share story prompts that help people get started writing. If you want to give this a try, copy the sentence and the keep writing or typing for 15 minutes. #AmWriting #WordCount #FirstDraft

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.

Passed 40,000 words in my new manuscript last night. Averaging a bit over 2,000 a day, which is just fine by me (goal is 1,500). Please enjoy this passage that might not make the final draft, but with which I made myself laugh!

Writers, what is harder for you to write:
A character's death, a heartbreaking goodbye, or two characters who love each other but just can't be together?
Because sometimes writing fictional pain feels a little too personal.
