I’m back with another writing vlog! In July, for Camp Nanowrimo 2023 I decided to continue working on the first draft of a fun new project I started last year. I initially set my word count goal quite low, but it turned out to be a very successful writing month and I managed to not only win Camp Nanowrimo this time, but double my initial word count goal! Follow along on this vlog to see how I did this. From early morning writing sessions, to greenhouse office writing, to frustrating moments when I thought I lost a chunk of my work, it’s been quite an eventful camp nano.
Finally, I’m back with a new writing vlog! Editing my book. Follow me as I go through the process of line editing and copy editing my book. Editing a book can be a long and strenuous process, not to mention having to go out there and find the best professional editors for your genre and for your budget. If you’re curious how I went about finding my editors, as well as how the editing went, I talk about everything in this video. I also explain a bit about why I went on a hiatus from social media and kind of disappeared off of youtube for a few months…oops.
