Rewrites, Challenges, and more!
Rewrites for the Girl with the Uninvited Ghost are underway. Imagine my surprise when I didn’t hate the first draft.
I took two challenges in addition to rewriting my NaNo book.
The first was the 3-DAY “PLAN YOUR SERIES” CHALLENGE with Carissa Andrews of
Author Revolution. Since I want The Girl with the Demon Spider to be the first book in a series, this challenge seemed perfect.
Andrews’s pep talks were helpful as a means of shutting down your inner skeptic and imposter syndrome, which I think we all need from time to time.
- The second challenge was the Children’s Book Challenge Week hosted by Storyteller Academy, which gave the skinny on:
- How to turn your ideas into incredible stories.
- Writing techniques for rhyming picture books.
- How to Illustrate characters that readers will love.
- Tips to help you self-publish successfully.
- Insider knowledge about the children’s book industry
Lastly, I continued to world-build with World Anvil. Let me tell you, the learning curve on that beast is high! So much of it is unintuitive.
