First and foremost, happy birthday to me. I'm 23-years-old as of 7 pm.
Second, I finished my first draft of book two (name to be announced). 79.3k words ready to be edited, beta read, and edited again! Thankfully, my cover artist is available for commission, so I get the same quality cover for book two. By the middle of December, I'll get started on self-editing. By mid-January, I'll have beta readers. February, I'll get through self-edits yet again and have an editor work on it as well. I'm hoping to have the book out by April. May at the latest.

I'm super excited to get to this next step. So much has happened in book two and I can't wait until you see what's in store! Until then, I'm enjoying my birthday and a week of no writing.

Love,
Annait
