Today’s Plan

I had some thought, since Tuesday was a terrible writing day for me. Yesterday was much better and I closed off a chapter and started a new one. It was a little bit of the struggle, watching scenes from the Godfather repeatedly and trying to put the perspective of family meetings into my head to conjure words. Either way, it’s done and we have a huge scene coming up and my brain is excited. So today, I’ll be rereading some of my work from the first draft. Seeing the details and everything come together and how I can fit my new changes into the scene. It’s definitely going to be a lot heavier than before and I am beyond excited.

I’m waiting for my new proof for The Art Beneath the Cage, so stay tuned for that. A cover reveal will be coming shortly and possible exciting news 👀
