stuck in chapter seven & passing 18k | writing vlog ep 10

[@charleeraewrites]

Hi guys! Thanks for watching this week’s writing vlog! I hope you enjoyed it! Do you guys have a favorite coffee shop to write at? Where do you prefer to write?

Enjoyed the vlog and the witchcraft mug is sooo cute 💖 as far as showing more in your personal life I think that decision ultimately comes down to you and your comfortability. I enjoy seeing both writing and a little about personal but it's up to you! Good luck on getting past chapter 7 😊

[@charleeraewrites]

Thank you 😊 I appreciate the thoughts on that

If the peeks at your personal life impact your writing, that's interesting. But don't feel pressured to share more "life stuff" than you want. In my last novel, I had a 17K chapter (many chapters, just too lazy while drafting to cut it up - that's an editing problem). I'm now ~23K into a new WIP and am almost to my inciting incident. 🤣

Yeah that’s a good point! I’m an open book really so I don’t really feel pressured. I think it’s just a good thing to know. I really love how engaged this little community we’ve been building is and if there was a way to see more of that (like sharing more life stuff) I’d be so down! Also a 17k chapter is nuts 😂 I get the being lazy while drafting. This chapter is difficult because there wasn’t a good place to end it. If I could break it up more than I would! 🤣

@@charleeraewrites to be fair, the draft was 250K words and only 34 or so chapters so it was a problem throughout. LOL. I'm framing a bit more with current WIP (I won't call it plotting...) so hopefully I'll have a better idea of where to cut it off. But I'll just have more chapters..
