Raindrop - your technique for building characters sounds fantastic! I always find it hard to pinpoint their motivations and short-comings. It sounds like you have a great handle on things now.
Ajaye - good luck at reaching 31! Even if you're behind, I bet you can do it.
Layla - two out of three ain't bad, right? Good luck on still getting those tasks done - even the majority is far better than zero!
Esmae - fantastic! And thanks, I'm excited to show them around, and I think they are really happy to get to see where my husband grew up (and meet my mother-in-law for the first time). It's promising to be a great end to 2017!
Daniel - way to go! You're moving along well, despite setbacks. Wishing you good luck in January!
I sat myself down today and forced myself to get two entire chapters edited in WIP #1. That brings me to a grand total of 64 out of 191 pages finished in draft two, which isn't bad given that I only started the editing phase at the beginning of December. One of my swap partners asked if I had any books published because she liked my writing style so much, which was a wonderful surprise Christmas gift, and it's been really motivating to get this second draft done. Slow progress, but definitely moving forward! Happy end of 2017 to everyone in case I don't end up being back before the New Year!
