Hello everyone! This post isn't about a book I'm reading, but a book I'm writing. I'm working on writing my first novel and it's an ambitious project. If you have any advice or encouragement PLEASE send it my way. I need all the help I can get. :) Thank you thank you thank you! 💻📄🖋📝

BooksTeasAndBookishThings If you make a huge change, save the new changes as 'alternate plot' so that if you go back to original (which will probably happen) you won't have to change it all again. No matter what, write to make YOU happy with the story that is in your head, you will NEVER make everyone else happy. So, enjoy yourself, write honestly, and have fun and it will be epic! 😊🎉 8y
MrBook One page at a time! Over and over and over again! We are both writing our first. 😁😆👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 8y

I flip through this concise resource by a longtime freelance editor when I need a new perspective on my own work. It'd make a great gift for new writers, too.
