Two more chapters go on the “good for now” pile. 📚

Also! Today I found a whole section of a chapter that (when I wrote it) seemed very important to the plot. Now in retrospect, it wasn’t needed at all!

I raise my glass to you, Past-Max. You, over-correcting goof~ 🍻😅

Slow and steady progress today. 🐌💕

I know I’m in the minority, but I really enjoy editing. There’s this distance from the writing, so I can just focus on making things shine. I see what you were trying to do here, Max from a year ago, let me just make it a little clearer~ 😇

I’ve never understood the writers who complain that changing a character’s name takes “a lot of work”

Like, my dude, ever heard of this little thing called “Search & Replace”? It literally takes 2 seconds 😂

Let the revision begin!! 🏁✨✨

This first pass is always the slowest (since there’s so much to fix), but the first 3 chapters are done for now!

It’s so nice getting back into this world. Max from last year wrote some 🔥🔥 lines. I can’t wait for you to meet Fel 😊🍞💕

I’m going offline for the weekend, so here’s a little something for anyone looking for a fun #writingprompt!

🗣💬 What would it be like for your character to be the leader of a group? Do they step up to the challenge—or flee from it?

200 words or 1 page is all it takes! 🐸✨
