After a 11k word week, ya girl is tiiiiired 🤣 I'm really looking forward to jumping into one round of edits. This book needs A LOT of work before anyone reads it, since I really followed the old and fast rule of "just get it on the page." Luckily, no edits will cause earth shattering domino effects, so there shouldn't be any big rewrites. They're mostly world building and character development things.

The first draft of book one of my new romantasy duology, Swear not by the Moon, is DONE 🙌

🌕 Forbidden love

Honestly, this draft needs *so* much work. Luckily, I don't think there are plot holes, but it definitely needs work on the world building and the details. But, at 126,000 words, draft one is done 🥰
