Not gonna lie, it's not my second, it's my third, but facing the cold reality of a second draft? That's gonna take calories.

So far my debuted novel Down Bad is finished, but oh boy, it's more "finished" than finished. Ran across the famous **insert argument here** a few pages back and realizing that there's a lot of writing yet to be done.

I guess the old saying is true, "it is when you've finished the book that you finally get to start the book".

But hey, one foot in front of the other, right?

Agreed. The amount of self restraint I excersize daily to eat cookies instead of doing heroine is truly admirable

Of course you need cookies. The brain uses more energy than any other muscle in the body. 🍪 😉

It’s okay my husband bought cookies and I may or may not have eaten half of the box while writing 👀
