edit my book with me | finishing the draft and a 10k word day writing vlog

WE DID IT
The past couple of weeks have been full of writing and editing and rewriting and I am so happy to say that I have finally finished draft 3 of this book and it is now in the hands of my wonderful beta readers 🥰 The last few days consisted of so much writing, restructuring, dictating, and just general scrambling to get this done but we hit the deadline and it's out and I'm just so happy 😭🎉

Hey Kayla! If you're looking for a treasure hunty-type show, have you checked out Outer Banks? It's not super pirate-y but there are a lot of references to (fictional) historical pirates and it heavily features a treasure hunt and is super vibey. It's not a fantasy or anything so I don't know if you will be into it as far as needing the vibes for your story, but it's definitely my favourite show on Canadian Netflix right now!

ahhh I haven't watched it but I've definitely heard of it. I didn't know it had those vibes though, I'll definitely check it out, thank you! 🥰

Congratulations on finishing your draft! 🥳 Have you read ALL THE STARS AND TEETH and its sequel ALL THE TIDES OF FATE by Adalyn Grace? It’s a YA high fantasy with romance and a mysterious pirate! The prose is gorgeous! 😍

[@KaylaKempers]

thank you Lara!! 💛💛 I haven't but I will absolutely add that to my TBR 🥰

There's no dictating for me. The idea of a giant block of unedited text awaiting my clean-up sounds awful! LOL But if it works for you, get it done.

[@KaylaKempers]

honestly this is like the third time I've tried to make it work for me and while it was better than previous attempts, it has mostly just motivated me to be more consistent/on track with writing so that I can avoid using it in the future 😂 I'm not a huge fan

[@76kilosofshade81]

@@KaylaKempers glad the burden of dictation is leading to more consistency 😆
