You are so ready for this! How amazing to have this writer you respect focusing on on your project!!! So cool. I'm making progress, too. Switching from outlining into writing for November. Scary. I think I'll hang with the Rough Draft challenge, and go for 30K. Fantasy novel, debut author. I did discover that Shut Up and Write has four weekly groups within .5 miles of my house! Been to three and, not too surprising I guess, there are nice, curious, hard-working folks ready for check-ins! A whole new piece to my writerly existence.
Congrats again! Glad to hear that you’re getting good feedback. So excited for the next updates! I’m just trying to finish draft 1 by the end of November. Good luck with everything and looking forward to the next video!
Okay, I'm glad I wasn't alone in being surprised by the agent showcase (but like... the best kind of surprised possible?????)! Definitely adds a little extra pressure to a process... but pressure just makes diamonds, right? 🥴 Good luck with your ending reworking - I hope this time will be the charm to getting it gelling in a way you're happy with!
I feel the same way about not having a laptop! Also, I literally ordered a print copy of the finest print to annotate and study because it was so well done! So excited to see how this smoochpit process goes
You're doing great, Meredith! I just started my zero draft of my contemporary sweet romance. I just put up a video on my writing channel as I was watching this video so I think that's productivity, lol. I just wanted to sleep instead but your videos always get me starting my day with excitement and confidence. We got this! 🎉
I will be doing my first round of edits on book six in my paranormal cozy mystery series. I'm also hoping to get book 7 outlined, and at least the first four chapters written.
I swear by pacing to help come up with story ideas. I do it all the time. I think Diane Mariee mentioned she does that also in one of her videos. In November I will be continuing to draft my small town romance. Heart Breathings has. Rough Draft challenge on her channel but I think it’s just not November I think it’s ongoing.
I happened to be a rewrite maniac, I got multiple versions of the same story. I am doing a crazy thing called A.I.-WriMo, I set it up at NaNo's site as a non event project with 500k word count for ironic gag sake, just this once. I won't do November tradition, I will do all year casual instead.
"Once I have a plan, I will be good to go!" - Me to myself everyday I sit down to write hahaha Love the vlog! Congrats on being selected to be a mentee, and best of luck with your rewrite of the ending!! :)

Congratulations and good luck with rewriting the ending! I'm writing a modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice in November.
Congratulations! You'll smash it I'm sure.

Thank you 🥰
Good luck with the zero drafting!! I'm a little envious of everyone starting new drafts. That's my favorite part of the process!
So happy and excited for this mini victory in your writing journey. Amazing job continuing to put yourself out there
Thank you 🥰 It's a really exciting opportunity, that's for sure!

So excited for you! Also, I'm so with you on the political ads. Can't wait for all that to be over. I hope your SmoochPit experience is amazing!
Thank you for helping me brainstorm the other day 🥰
@@MeredithPhillipsWrites it's always a fun time!
Huge congratulations!!!!! I hope it is amazing!!!
Thank you 🥰 I'm so grateful for the opportunity!
I'm not doing any challenges this year because revision is my focus right now and I just wanna keep on track with that. Maybe next year! 😅
This is just so cool!!
I agree, haha!

LOL Get those 500k words 😂
I'm going to aim for 30k on my WIP in November, as part of The Stygian Society's Order of the Written Word challenge!
That's a great goal! 1k a day. You got this 💪
