I have 16 chapters left to #rewrite & 17 days until my (self-imposed) deadline to finish this draft. Honestly, the fact that I feel like I still have a chance to make it at this point, is motivating me to keep going more & more every day.

My overwriting self cut 4 whole lines from chapter 1 of my latest draft. I made lots of other edits too, but I’m trying to cut 30k words from my book, so removing 4 whole lines feels like progress.

Sometimes when I feel stuck with my own MS, it helps to give my writer friends feedback on their work. Seeing their efforts & progress, and hearing their encouragement to me makes a big difference. #CritiquePartners #WriterFriends #Motivation

Today I sent my agent a draft of a picture book. She didn’t know I wrote one, & I have no idea if she wants to look at it. But after feeling stuck & overwhelmed by everything internally & externally, it felt good take an action toward my publishing goal, even if it was just a little one. #writing

My creativity & joy has been lost for weeks. But today I’m taking the advice from my critique group to try to work on revising my MS. It’s far more of a struggle than it’s even been before. But I need to do something to remind myself writing is my joy. #Writing #Editing

Liz @panthorca.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Did I #write my book today? No. But I did write a letter & I hope that the knowledge that I did something to make my voice heard will help get me back in my writing mind again.

I’m curious, how do people feel about a #MiddleGrade novel written in 3rd person present tense. Are actual middle grade readers cool with that? (I’m considering rewriting my 3rd person past tense novel in 3rd person present tense.) #Editing #Revising #MG #KidLit
