Exactly my thinking!

Thank you! Technically I was supposed to be spending CampRevPit revising the first book, but I had so many ideas for book 2 I couldnโ€™t resist getting stuck into a first draft for it ๐Ÿคญ

My stories come to me as I write, so I donโ€™t usually know the ending. But for my current WIP, I knew that I wanted it to be a series, and had a good idea of how I wanted book 1 to end.

Bonus: Finish revising my WIP and hopefully complete my first draft of book 2

I love this! Sibling dynamics are always so interesting to read about!

Feedback and being open to constructive criticism. Itโ€™s never easy when someone is critiquing something youโ€™ve dedicated so much time to, but itโ€™s also so important to get other writersโ€™ perspectives on your writing! I know Iโ€™ll be a better writer because of it ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

The feeling of joy when youโ€™re writing and you can actually feel your story starting to come together โœ๐Ÿปโœจ

Bonus: Probably my FMCโ€™s relationship with her father. I always feel those scenes really deeply because I have such a good relationship with my own father.

Thank you! Yours sounds great too! I eat up every book that has twisted betrayals, lies and secrets, so just knew I had to include it in my own.

Thanks for hosting Safia! Managed just over 1000 words overall so quite happy with that!

710 words rewriting the first few pages of the MS I'm currently editing!

#CRPGlasswings Zahara would really like to have a picnic in the woods with all her favourite people - the more relaxing the better.

Bonus: I love curling up with a cup of tea and my dog and watching a movie or (if I haven't strained my eyes too much) reading a few pages of my current read! ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ“–

I need as much yearning as possible

I adore the relationship between my FMC and her main love interest - the evolution from estranged childhood friends to having forbidden feelings for each other gives me all the feels ๐Ÿ’•

Bonus: My parents are my biggest supporters - in my writing and everything else I do in life๐Ÿ’œ

Is there anything worse than trying to rewrite the first pages of your WIP? Just sat down to properly get some work done on this and it's like every potential thought has fled my mind. It's tough when inspiration doesn't come exactly when you want it to ๐Ÿ˜…

Iโ€™ve wanted to write stories my whole life, but Iโ€™ve only started properly writing within the last 3 years. My love of the fantasy genre - both books and film - heavily influenced me to write my current WIP. Thereโ€™s just something about the magical that I canโ€™t resist โœจ

Pantser, unfortunately ๐Ÿ˜– Iโ€™m quite organised in my everyday life but, when it comes to my writing, my stories very much write themselves! Even when I do try to outline, it only works for a few chapters, and then I just start writing and see where it takes me!
