Hey! I'm here to share the journey of working toward my author dreams :) My current work in progress is a YA Fantasy Romance Novel- and I'm editing my third draft. I'm excited to dive into all things writing, story telling, publishing, and reading, while connecting within this inspiring community!
Realistic process of writing a debut novel: introducing my work in progress(es)
Hey! I haven’t fully introduced the books I am working on and I wanted to go more in depth as I pursue self-publishing.
Here is my journey of trial and error to get to the point I’m at now. I plan on making more writing/editing vlogs on the behind the scenes of writing from first idea to published book!
I had no idea what I was doing, and I still don’t- but I want to share my journey to show what I have learned along the way.
Happy writing!
