So it was a huge ordeal in the beginning. I was scared I wouldn't know how to start over after getting so far in my previous work, but I did it and I could not be happier or more proud of myself. It's a lot shorter than the previous work which makes it all the more easier on me. There are still a ton of things that are missing from my writing and things I have to take out but that can all wait till I have gotten to the end. So I have ten chapters left to go-yay me!
Surround yourself with people who are serious about being writers, and who will tell you, ‘Hey—you can do better than this.’ Who will be critical of your work, but also supportive. And who will not be competitive in a negative way. — Isabel Quintero
