omg hey girl!! thanks for answering my question! hearing you talk about your wips seriously ignites a fire in me to write! i think having a tentative publishing date for late spring / early summer still gives you a lot of time to complete your 2025 goal if delayed! even if it's out by december 31, 2025, you still did the thing!!
The trying on outfits analogy was so perfect!! So true, sometimes you discover you only want to keep one element of the scene. Also I loveeee ‘no word written is wasted’!!! That’s so important
Feel you on that part about wondering if you can write a good novel in a year on your first attempt. Feeling just as ambitious with my current project. Want to have it pretty much done by end of next year while drafting the others in the standalone series next year too. Not sure if I'll publish it as soon as I feel it's done or wait til the following year to actual put it out into the world.
I prefer to do everything digitally, and by that, I mean exporting out the manuscript as a PDF file and then, using a PDF editor like Adobe Acrobat, I will be able to highlight and annotate. These are basic functions so they are included in the free version. I suppose professionals would purchase the subscription plan, but me, the free version works fine. It is possible to import the PDF into Goodnotes, but the Goodnote free version puts a limit on the file size. So, if your document is relatively small, then you can import the whole thing into Goodnotes and take notes on your own work digitally. Another way is to upload the whole manuscript to Google Docs and share the manuscript with another person (an editor perhaps), and the second person will check it out. Of course, if you do have money to spare for a printed manuscript and you prefer to do everything on physical paper, then there is no one stopping you.
So crazy hearing how similar our hopeful publishing timelines are! It’ll be so nice to be able to chat Throughout the process as we navigate the self publishing journey 🥹 loved this video sm as always
