Cool I was guided here... you write your book like I do. 😍 I have to keep the article for later – without a doubt, I will enjoy it! 🙏🤍

I love the sound of this! Congratulations :-)

Re: Beta readers though, it feels sensible to rely on fewer in number but share the whole book with them so that they can answer the questions that might appear in earlier/later chapters. Well done for getting this far and still being up for book two. Now for the hard parts eh?

Thanks so much for the advice, Helen 🙂 I'm already struggling with editing as I've grown so much as a writer since I first started this novel, so of course I hate most of what I've written 🤣

I’m at exactly the same point and putting off picking it back up. I’ve booked a night in a hotel next week to make me start, and then I’m on holiday with just me and my MacBook in a couple of weeks to PROPERLY focus on it. We’ll see… 🤞

The book sounds so good!! Congrats on typing “the end” on draft one—that’s insanely exciting, and impressive, considering you’re mothering a toddler, among other life things!! Eek keep me posted with the beta reading!
