My Writing Process – Drafting
Hi, all!
I apologize that it’s been a hot second since I blogged, but I wanted to let you all know that, in April, I’ll be starting a new series of posts to follow the process of being a debut author! I’ll be writing blog posts during each stage of the process, discussing what it’s like to work on edits with an editor, how copy edits and pass pages work, how covers work, etc. I’ll share as much as I’m able to, to give anyone who is curious an idea of how this whole process works.
Before I dive into this post, I wanted to give some quick writing and freelance editing updates.
Editing Updates: My bigger editing services are currently on a wait list! You can contact me to get on the list and get a tentative date (looking around May-June as I write this). I occasionally will have a random opening that I will try to fill on Twitter when someone cancels last minute, or when I finish projects early.
Writing Updates: I’m currently preparing to get started on edits for ALL THE STARS AND TEETH. Because my edit letter is arriving in just a few days and will take up a ton of my time, I really wanted to finish the first draft of another project I’ve been working on. And as of Monday night, I’m so so happy to say that IT IS DONE! I’m not going to reveal the title just yet, but we’ll call it DC.
Don’t get me wrong, DC needs a ton of work before it’s ready to be seen by other human eyes, but that’s perfectly fine because I’ve always loved revisions way more than drafting. Is that weird? I know the joy of being a writer is getting to write and all, but I’m always so annoyed when my ideas won’t just magically manifest themselves onto paper in like . . . a day.
