Hi, I'm Josie and I'm joining here to see what the community has to offer. I've been a writer since early childhood, and I've spent 13 years working on a serious fantasy novel that I'm coauthoring. A couple years ago we decided to scrap most of what we'd written after rethinking a lot of stuff that we had laid down in high school. Now we have ~5 chapters written, but there's a lot of detailed plotting behind it.

I know the feeling of a big scrap. It's scary like getting a radical haircut, but it's often for the best.
And as they say, "For a writer, nothing is wasted."
All the best with your novel!

No, she isn't. Some of her independent work is shared in other communities, but I don't want to point to those without her consent.

Thanks for the good wishes!
