Thanks for watching! If you have any questions that you'd like answered in these vlogs (which will be weekly) feel free to comment them! I'd love to get into the habit of answering viewer questions in each new vlog :)

It’s so cool to see your process and progress! I’m so glad you are happy with your editor feedback for BETWEEN THE WAVES! I love your enthusiasm for the project and how you feel reinvigorated by it. Thank you for the writer pep talk! 🥰

As soon as you said "fighting for this feeling" my brain screamed "I CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING ANYMORE, I'VE FORGOTTEN WHAT I STARTED FIGHTIN' FOR!!!...." and now it's playing on loop for a while. Happy for you though.

Kayla, I relate to you so much! I too have been working on the same book since 2021, and choosing which idea to go with is so daunting. Lately I've actually been making CHOICES and it's so crazy to see the story solidify and become it's own thing.

I havent finished the video yet so I dont know if you eventually answer this but would you be comfortable sharing how much the price range in cost to hire an editor like the one you did would be? Also I know the word count correlates too and I dont know if you mentioned that either
