Word count from last draft of Pirate Book to the one I just turned in. ALMOST 10k WORDS CUT, GUYS.

I’ve spent a lot of time focusing on clarity – taking classes, reading books, going through the ms word by word, compiling a list of “clutter words” and slaughtering them mercilessly. This is shaping up to be my shortest book yet, but I think it’ll also be my most harmonic.

Originally Pirate Book was supposed to come out this year, but taking the space to really work it was absolutely the right move. I am deliriously excited to share this book with you!!

(And now that edits are turned in, I’m planning on compiling all the stuff I’ve learned about clarity and sharing it with you guys! Stay tuned to my Instagram
