    Draft 1 is definitely the hardest. It literally took me a year to finish my first draft, but I’m flying through draft 2 now!

    I love writing a first draft, it's the second draft that I find tricky! Great tips!

    I LOVE all these tips. They're so helpful! You're so amazing at explaining things! And I've heard about placeholders before, and have used them in my story. (They're great for my overthinking mind).
