1,100 words today! I'm officially over the halfway mark. While I'm a little backed up creatively now and really wanting to return to Book 1 for further edits, I want to see this draft through first! Halfway there!!! #AmWriting

Thanks to Alyssa Jennette and Manuscript Academy & MSWL for an amazing consultation! I learned things from Alyssa that I never would have learned on my own. Querying authors, don't go it alone. You and your book are worth getting the support you need to shine! #WritingCommunity

Two days ago I got sunburn. Today I got snowed on. NJ weather is insane!

1,539 words today (and 1,871 on Wednesday, I just forgot to post about it)! I'm past the halfway point and really loving how the story is coming together. I'll have to be careful not to go over 50,000 words, there's still a bunch of stuff that needs to happen in this book!

I submitted to #RevPit! Good luck everyone!!

1,252 words today! There's definitely been parts of this draft I will change a lot in editing, but in the meantime it's all about getting those words on the page! Your story can't live until it's written, after that, there's always room for editing! #AmWriting

1,001 words today! This was a really good session and it allowed me to really reconnect with some of the cozier sides of the story, which I feel like I've really been missing! The end is in sight, and the next several chapters are really wild, so I'm excited! #AmWriting

WRITE EVERY DAY YOU CAN! Writing is absolutely a muscle that gets better the more you do it! 2,010 words today!!! I've really struggled with some parts of this draft. But I've stuck it out, and the last few sessions have been amazing. I'm so excited for what's to come!!!

1,189 words today! I think I'll be wrapping this draft up in the next couple weeks. While some middle parts are going to need some work, I absolutely love the payoffs and big moments of this book! #AmWriting

1,397 words today! This draft went from hard to write to the words just absolutely flowing out of me. I'll have to fix up some of the middle parts for sure but I am LOVING where this is heading! #AmWriting

1,898 words today! I love this story so much. The last few chapters have had so many big payoff scenes that I've planned for so long, and it's just been so incredibly satisfying to put them to page. I'm nearing 40,000 words! #AmWriting

923 words today! I'm on to the final battle next!!! #AmWriting

1,401 words today! We are officially final battlin' and the end is in sight! I need to get the Dav progress tracker cleaned up, but I hit about 40,000 words today so we're past the 80% mark! #AmWriting

1,710 words today! Another one of those chapters that I had pretty much fully planned since I started this book and it felt great bringing it to life. BUT I'm at 42K with a decent amount of story left... I think I'm going over 50K for this draft! #AmWriting

961 words today! Getting back in the groove after last week away, and coming ever closer to the end of this draft!! #AmWriting

1,565 words today!!! Two shorter writing sessions the past two days helped me get my momentum back. I'm through the climax of the book! But honestly I've been more excited to write this falling action point than most parts of the book, so this will be fun! #AmWriting

995 words today! We are officially in the DEEP WILD and exploring one of the coolest and strangest parts of the whole book. Four writing days in a row, and I feel like I've got all my momentum back after last week off! #AmWriting

Thanks to Siobhán O'Brien Holmes and Caeden for a fantastic junior beta read! This was such an excellent service and a perfect way for middle-grade readers to really understand what their audience is looking for!

1,308 words today! 48k words total. So much for that 50k target! I'll be lucky if I finish at 60k, but I'm absolutely loving the ride!! #AmWriting

1,208 words today! A little slow on writing days this week as I'm getting over a cold (or getting over the fact that we went from 90 degrees to 30 in NJ over a single week)! But the end is in sight, and I'll finish this draft up either next week or the week after! #Amwriting
