          That’s great!

          YES, WE NEED UPDATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          Keep on goin’ Girl!

          I’m officially jealous and excited for you at the same time XD

           

           

          Just curious, but what editing team are you doing? I’ve kinda been researching here and there for when I actually start needed someone to edit…even though that’s like two or three years in the future…

          Oh, and another question, is it as relieving and exciting as writing the last word of your first draft, or more?

            For real though, I would do the same thing. πŸ˜‚ I’ve imagined the moment I get to hold my very own book in my hands and now you are so close to that!!πŸ₯ΉπŸ˜†

              XD I hope you try it! It’s super fun lol

              Tysm for asking I really appreciate it! Yeah, it feels like it’s been forever.

              So many things are starting to change for me… my parents are looking for a home in the state next to us, and I’d have to stay to get in state tuition. We just toured a super nice studio apartment walking distance from my school, it was sooooo nice! I’ts like 1200 a month but apparently that’s the going price for studios close to school ; (

              It’s just weird to be making a transition like that, or thinking about it. The apartment tour guy was telling us about the activity space, and he mentioned they had a really fun beer pong torment last year. I guess that’s when it hit me these people are like real adults 🫠🫠

              Don’t worry I won’t be participating lol

              The building itself is super safe but the walk to school isn’t really… so idk. It’s complicated with my health because I have to live super close to school so I can come back and take care of my health.

              I’m still working on my book, not a lot of on paper writing but the general story is becoming a lot more tied together. I’ve been watching marvel movies with my mom too, which has been super fun.

              Anyways, how about you girl? How are you doing? <3

               


              @freed_and_redeemed

              That is so exciting girl! Congrats, I can’t imagine what it might feel like to have your first book published. I can’t wait to see it!

                  @smiley @euodia-vision @koshka @rae @mineralizedwritings THANK Y’ALL SO MUCH!!! πŸ’–πŸ’– Y’all are the best <3

                   

                  and Rae, I’m going with Kindle Direct Publishing! I’m still basically self-publishing bc I retain all rights to my writing, but Amazon is handling the editing, formatting, cover design, and will be getting it out there as an E-Book and a paperback cover on Amazon, Kindle, and I think 2-3 other platforms, all online tho…not any in the store as far as I know

                  idk what editing team it is…idk if there’s multiple ones, haha. The only person I have direct contact with is my product manager, who forwards the cover designs, editing, and all of the details to me herself.

                  But yeah!! KDP has been amazing so farπŸ’•πŸ’•

                   

                  and it is more relieving and exciting, LOL. It’s a lot of patience on my part, but certainly, at least for me, even more exciting than putting the final word on the first draft πŸ˜‚

                  hope those were the answers you were looking for! <3

                          @freed_and_redeemed I’m glad he won’t be like this forever…..I’d be heartbroken for a character who is….

                           

                          and no I don’t necessarily like writing trauma either lol. But it exists, especially in characters who’ve gone through a lot of war in their lives. So yeah I’ll willingly sacrifice a good part of a character’s life so they can have it rebuilt again….

                          Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.

                            @freed_and_redeemed just read the bit about you publishing your book! That’s amazing, and I hope I’ll be able to get it when it comes out!

                             

                            And I’ll probably write a few fanfics inserting characters of my own (or “borrowed” star wars/marvel/whatever characters hehe) into it lol

                            but that’s how you know I love a story, when I write fanfictions involving it

                              Yes, that does answer them, thanks.

                              KDP sounds exactly like what I’ve been looking for, actually. I’ll research more, but thank you.

                                  @rae Girl, don’t stress too much.

                                  I had the novel idea for Freedom’s Fire since prob around 2020 (the full idea has changed a LOT since then lolz) and I tried to write several drafts before I was finally satisfied with the one I finished with. It took me over a year to write the actual draft, and then it still had to go through editing and is still going through editing.

                                  Writing a novel is hard work. It takes a lot of time and patience and energy.

                                  You’ll get there when it’s God’s timing, so don’t stress too much, girl. You’ve got this, and youΒ willΒ get thereπŸ’•
