It's incredible that you're experimenting with difficult writing styles like poetry and inserting humor into your storylines, I been writing my whole life and my goal is to be the best modern day creative writer!
I've been trying to dabble in other genres! It has been a fun experience, and I wouldn't know what I do about my writing process if I didn't take this chance. Even though I'm trying out humor in my storytelling that doesn't mean other people will understand my humor 😅 but we have to start somewhere lol.
SO PROUD OF YOU AND ALL YOUV’VE LEARNED WITH THIS DRAFT!! 🎉 I think you’ve come to a lot of revelations with this book and I know this will only make your next project stronger!
It was an entire experience, and I am not even sorry about it 😂 I like doing these reflection videos because I think there is always something to learn from a self-evaluation. Honestly, writing romance was pretty fun 😳
Your videos are always so lovely to watch. I'm so happy for this victory of yours! Keep rocking, girlie, you're doing great! ❤ Thanks for posting this!
I've never thought of taking some time to consider what I've learned, once a draft is done. I'm always ready to start whatever is next. What a good habit. Also, kinda excited that you're going back to your snowy fantasy. As someone who's been to the Arctic a few times, I think there's a lot of amazing things you can incorporate into such a setting!
I didn't do a little reflection after writing my first novel, but I've been doing it after I wrote my second one. I think it is so beneficial right now because I am still discovering the craft and trying to just write the darn words lol. This definitely helps me stay in check! This snowy project is my entire being right now 😍 I think what made me decide to return to this one was watching Lost in the Artic on Disney Plus 😅 and I could not agree more with you about the icy landscape being a really fun setting to play around with!
Congratulations on completing your first draft! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and process. And I agree, I also keep reminding myself that good books become great with more time and work (and enjoyment, too!).
Wish I could like a video more than once. Loved your reflections here, it’s inspiring for me as I’m at the start of my first draft. ❤ made me laugh at the end as I have a fantasy WIP called project ice too 😆
This comment is so kind 💕 I'm happy you found this video inspiring and helpful for your own writing journey! It is always exciting (but also scary) starting a first draft. Lol, we are definitely not the only ones with a WIP called Project Ice. Another writer told me this same thing before and I got a kick out of it!
Yay new video!! and omg I'm so excited to read if you plan on publishing. Do you have anything out currently? I'd love to purchase and read to support!
Your enthusiasm is so contagious! It will be a very long time before anything is published though 😅 and I don't have anything available to read now. But thank you so much for always supporting my journey!
Songs in books definitely aren't for everyone, and that's why reading is fun! Everyone has their own preferences. Personally I love songs in books especially Tolkien. Andi Serkius does a fantastic job with narrating the songs in The Lord of the Rings. That's my opinion and not everyone feels that way 😊 and that's totally fine. We just have to respect each other's tastes.

Thanks Lindsay! 😃 Yes, it's definitely something difficult to remember sometimes 😅 but we will get there!
Congrats on finishing the draft !! Love that this story let you try out different genres and subplots, such a learning experience
Thank you! The relief of finishing that first draft 😌 this was such a great experimental project!

Sounds like you had a blast!
I truly did! 😁
Might I ask the name of your Cozy Fantasy book?
Ooof, songs in a book i always skip, even if it is Tolkien
