šŸ§µ Itā€™s the same when iā€™m #drafting #novels. Doubt turns into anxiety which then overwhelms me. So, I take it scene by scene, peek šŸ«£ ahead to see the notes in the margins, suck in a deep breath and then commit myself to just get through that scene. Then the chapter as a whole. And it can be so draining that I end up needing a break before scrolling to the next chapter. THANK GOD for my agentā€™s thoughtful notes because she gives them in bite sized, easy to digest suggestions. ā¤ļø U @tajmccoywrites

šŸ§µ I think I can describe what #amediting feels like now. See, I am a converted #plotter, and while that has made the process of #editing my #book so much easier, I still have such anxiety about tackling my edits. The notes from my agent are clear, helpful, and insightful. Thereā€™s no issue there or with the direction. My issue is that I have to take my edits chapter by chapter or even scene by scene to mentally prepare because Iā€™m wondering if Iā€™m even capable of pulling the work out of myself.

If you're wondering whether we call turkeys "turkeys" because they come from Turkey, here's a very old, shaky (but short and nicely referenced) video I did about it. (The short answer is "sort of.")

@KellyEsparzaWrites @KileyAWrites +3 for me. Never mind all the social Iā€™m on for the day job. šŸ¤Ŗ

@KellyEsparzaWrites itā€™s starting to make me dizzy but Iā€™ve heard some other writer friends migrating their too. We are like social media refugees. Some others are going to discord, too.
