Stay With Me...

I realize I haven't written a blog post that involved my manuscript in a little while.

Mainly because I'm still editing and learning extensively.

I haven't stopped.

I'm actually trying to give my MC a little more ✨spice✨.

The storyline has spice written all over it, but after re-reading my manuscript five billion times, I narrowed things down so much that I removed parts that might make the reader love and sympathize with my main character.

I want people to love her.

Root for her.

So, I'm working on it! All while being a mom, working at my regular job part-time, taking care of myself, reading, keeping the house up - it's a lot.

I have days where I don't have the motivation to edit because I'm simply tired.

I'm learning that that's okay.

It's been 4 years that I've been working on my story. I want to release my best work. I want to educate myself on the process of self-publishing along with learning more about writing in general.

What's another few months?

Those days where I get home (late) from work, when I just want to go to bed and read before falling asleep. That's okay!

Sometimes it takes a lot of convincing.

But it's okay!

I also find I don't work as well with a tired mind, and that goes for anything.

I didn't study well with a tired mind in university, so why would this be any different?

I do see some more passages that I might share as I go along. I'll feel it out as I go!

Stay with me, I promise it's getting there!

If you're still here, I'm so grateful you are.

Thank you for reading my fluff!
