    I finished the first draft of my cozy fantasy! It took much longer than expected, but I finally wrote "The End." What's next?

      Thank you! It was a wild ride lol, and I'm glad to be finished with this draft. I'm happy this has inspired you to keep going! Not all parts of the writing journey are glamorous or easy, and I think this vlog in particular shows that. You can absolutely finish your story! I believe in you 🧡

    IM SO PROUD OF YOU 🎉 👏🏻
    sometimes we can also get stuck because we want to finish and it’s not moving quickly, so I’m glad you stuck it out and got to write the end! 🥰
    Can’t wait for the project ice reread 😍

      Yes, you are exactly right! 💕 I'm so happy to be plowing forward now. I definitely think it is all part of the process lol. The highs and lows of writing...ahhh the beauty! I can't wait for Project Ice either 👏

    It's like you knew I needed this video today, haha. I am dragging my feet on finishing this first draft of my current fantasy project and I have 18ish scenes left and around 20k words left. I need to just get it done!!! Congrats on finishing another draft!

      Awe, Darrian! I'm sorry you're having a similar experience with your draft. It really stinks when this happens, but I'm happy this vlog gave you the inspiration you needed ❤️ You can do it. I am here supporting you all along the way!

    🥳 Congratulations! You made it! You hit your goal. Also, i'm so impressed you can tell a complete story with only 50K words. 😭 This is not a skill I have right now, as you might recall. 😆 My. new one took 25K words to get to the inciting incident...

      @31:12 - you can always fix it later. This is my mantra! 😅

      I made it! I survived the draft 👏​😂​🥳​ I promise just because this story is 50,000 words, it doesn't mean that it is fully fleshed out and explored. It is what I needed it to be lol. I have the bones/foundation at its most basic form.
      I don't think that is too terrible with your story. I know we've chatted about it in the past lol but I think that's your process and I think that's great (although you probably don't think it's great when you have to go back and edit lol)!

      @@AutumnAshleigh oh, first/second drafts always have possible improvements, I didn't think you were ready to hit publish yet. 😄 I'm proud of you for sticking through to the end! (And as for us talking about editing...I've never gotten through a third draft so this year has some lofty goals. How exactly does one make 250K words into a 100K novel? Just make a duology??) 🤣
