*not actually a novel, a first draft**
** not even a whole first draft really…
Anyway it was a big old hunk of writing and I’ve been documenting the process on my Instagram here, so you’re very welcome to go watch all that back, but now I’ve made it to the finish line I thought it deserved a longer debrief so I have a full YouTube video with the whole process, what I learned from doing it, and my tips for writing faster. Enjoy
While you’re here, making a living through writing is super tricky right now. Authors’ incomes are falling, and bills very much are not, so if you are able and you enjoy what I write it would be lovely if you could drop me a couple of quid by way of acknowledgement or thanks. I believe people generally say ‘buy me a coffee’ but I don’t like coffee and I’m lactose intolerant. So buy me a soya milk hot chocolate?
