Congratulations, Kailey! It was so reassuring to read this having only recently finished my (first!) first draft of a novel. I'm really encouraged by your journey so far, and grateful to you for sharing 💛 Can't wait to read your book one day!

Thank you, Jenna! And congratulations on draft one! ✨That is a giant step. Do you enjoy drafting or are you more into revision?

For shorter pieces, I enjoy the revision more! Something flows so much more easily for me once I have words to work with. I haven't started the revisions for this novel draft yet — not sure if the experience will be different with a larger body of work, but I'm still excited to dive into edits!
