Ok, one chapter. Lets #edit one chapter. We can do this right?

Please ignore the sobbing in the background.

Okay, so my writing teacher seemed to think it was extremely important to make a second book in a series as stand-alone as possible. You know, just assume that the person reading it will not read the first book in the series.

Anyone have an opinion on that?

The only mention of Earth in my manuscript. I so want to call it "Earth-That-Was"

me suddenly considering what it means for the interstellar economy if unobtainium required for FTL is worth what I say it is :/

I try to pack a lot into a sentence some times

I have a habit of writing particularly long and wordy sentences. Watch me edit! ✍️

I'm using a script I built which highlights sentences based on their length. #amwriting #ameditting

This (very) old essay about dildos is a load of wank 💦⚔️

Halfway through my final read through of The Wrong Kind of Smart.

This probably would be going by faster if I didn't frequently find myself falling asleep at my computer, but hey, the joys of being an indie author and the father of a toddler, I guess. 😅

When I started this third draft, I found myself wondering how the hell I was going to make it up to 100 pages. I'm up to chapter 8 in my manuscript, and after some fairly recent additions, I think this might be more obtainable than I originally thought. #AmWriting #AmEditting#Booksky

First lines are even harder than titles 😭

Currently spell checking The Wrong Kind of Smart.

It makes me cringe to have to add the word "unalived" to my personal dictionary. The fact we have to use it makes me want to slap the nearest advertiser. But a certain joke or two doesn't work if I don't use the word, so...

3/4 done with the second draft of The Wrong Kind of Smart. I'm still having to renumber the chapters, but I think a lot of the continuity is fixed at this point in the editing process

Currently halfway through the second draft of The Wrong Kind of Smart. If all goes according to plan, I won't have to add any additional chapters to the second half. Although now I'm going to have to renumber everything.

That feeling when you send out your first few chapters to your CPs for more edits, and then you come up with a major plot idea that requires you to rewrite some of what you just sent out... #amwriting #ameditting
