Just finished a quick edit with my editor/partner/bff of all the scenes I wrote in the last month. I was extremely insecure before and now I feel great

I also added a scene where my antagonist reads a philosophical book I haven't read in its entirely myself, what I did know of it seemed fitting.. Then after adding that I researched said book and it seems to be literally about my story. I'm quite shocked right now but how well it connects.

Don't feel bad. I rarely get an R&R request and I sure think some of my books warrant it.

But I've finished my work. AW is my reward.

I took a few days to work on an outline, then a stepsheet, but it wasn't really coming together so I decided to wait for inspiration -- then I got tired of waiting and wrote anyway. Maybe inspiration will come while I'm typing...
