Update 1
Hey guys! Sorry I have been so inactive on this website for a while, I have been writing every day and have had almost no time to blog.
This will serve as the first update I will upload to the site, which is funny because I am so far a long in the process.
By that I mean I am now eighty percent done with the third draft of my first unnamed book! It currently sits at 60,000+ words. This number may fluctuate depending on how much I butcher my darling in the fourth draft.
I did something very brave and showed the first chapter to two preliminary readers and got some helpful feedback. They both said that it was great, but they are also very biased, so I am trying to keep a level head and not let my ego get too inflated. It did feel great to have my work in other people’s hands though!
I just sent them the second chapter, as well as chapters one and two to a third preliminary reader. My plan is to give the whole book to by beta readers after the fourth draft, but the future is still unclear.
I don’t know how many drafts I will go through before I feel like it is ready to be seen by agents or editors, but I feel like I am making progress every day.
And that feels pretty great.
Thanks for reading! I hope to update you again soon with more good news!
Have a safe and pleasant day!
