Day 23 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge

Day 17 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
Rewriting is an act of the gods, and baby, I am about to ascend to godhood. I realized that my novel in progress needed to take a different direction. The characters were losing their individual voices. I was losing my patience, which isn't saying much because I do not consider myself a patient person. But… Continue reading Day 17 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
