You have a complete draft of your novel?? That's so incredibly amazing! I adore your writing so so much (that roommates one-shot was precious! And LMLY was soooo captivating) and not sure why I decided to send this message haha but just know you're amazing and I really admire you and I'm very excited about your novel!
I do! And it’s so weird. I have a lot of revising to do. I do a pretty good job of not stopping to revise or edit while I’m writing, so I have a lot to do now, but it’s very strange to me that I have a finished draft, that too my knowledge isn’t missing much. I have been working on this project for FOUR YEARS. I have completed one draft before this, but it had a lot of wholes in it, and I didn’t like the first half of it. This draft is different. It’s like, actually done. (And this is kinda terrifying bc soon I’ll have to let people read it and my friend and I were talking about this last night and how sharing original work is so much more scary than fanfiction because I have spent four years pouring my soul into creating these characters that some people just aren’t going to like, like that’s normal. When you read a book, you don’t like all the characters. But I hand crafted these ones and I want people to like them so it’s scary.) I’m excited, but I’m scared!
Thank you for messaging me! I was going to leave this in my inbox so I can see it all the time, but I wanted to let you know that I love that you sent this to me and I appreciate it so much! I’ve been sharing my writing here for about eight years now, and getting messages like this never gets old. I’m so glad that you enjoy my writing and it makes my heart happy that you wanted to tell me that <3
