Today, I worked on editing my novel.

This is the second time I’m reading it now in less than a month, so I’m moving through it a lot quicker. At this point, it isn’t necessarily worth it to read every single word so closely. I’m more looking for the moments that I called out as confusing during my read of it in non-linear order. The thing I’m mostly realizing is that I can’t trust readers to remember things from 30 pages ago. I cant just reference things, I have to explicitly restate them. At least, that’s what I think I need to do. Hard to say until I actually create, then read, a second draft.

How were you creative today?

Love and gratitude, as always.

I am trying to post something every day reflecting on creativity, what’s inspiring me now and what’s inspired me in the past, what I’m working on. Think of this is a public writing journal, made public only in an attempt to make myself more accountable.
