It's a coffee in my Uni Freiburg mug kind of morni

It's a coffee in my Uni Freiburg mug kind of morning. I keep thinking of our tiny, sun-drenched apartment and the looming mountains in the distance. It feels like just yesterday and a lifetime ago all at once.

Settling in for some words before the Tin House YA

Settling in for some words before the Tin House YA Workshop begins!! Time to FINISH THIS REVISION.

Happy Monday, everyone. I took a break from writin

Happy Monday, everyone. I took a break from writing this weekend and read a book and watched the snow fall and watched so many episodes of Wild Kratts and had three separate tea parties. It was magical. And now I'm finishing up my homework for Tin House's YA Workshop that is somehow already THIS WEEK! I'm so in awe of the work everyone has shared and I can't get wait to meet everyone and learn as much as I can. ✨

I am SO happy with this revision of BLOOD LIKE ROS

I am SO happy with this revision of BLOOD LIKE ROSES. So much of the feedback I received was about world building and slowing down to really immerse us in Lore's world. My first draft of BLR was 58k. My second was 86. Third? 81. This one is getting bigger by the day: I just hit the midpoint at 49.8k. I'll probably have to do some trimming when all is said and done but I'm very, very pleased. The pacing feels better, my characters are deeper, and the magic and mythology are more fleshed out.

🥀

Do your drafts grow as you write? How do you balance world building and pacing?
