#LateNightWrite Q3:
My protag has complex relationships with all the antags ranging from camaraderie, respect, hate, love, and betrayal

#LateNightWrite Q2:
Yes! My MC's journey starts with her joining the rebellion. When a heist goes wrong, she convinces a team to infiltrate the enemy to destroy them from within, which is when she begins to realize she might be fighting on the wrong side of history

#LateNightWrite Q1:
I like when you can understand the antagonist's perspective as much as the protagonist. In my current WIP, I played with the idea that the hero is the one who survives to tell the story.

Hi #LateNightWrite 👋 My name is Christine and I'm finishing edits on my NA dystopian with romance that I'll be releasing this year!

I spent 2 hours in front of the computer last night working on a scene and the second I got into bed I suddenly realized how to fix it 🙃
Why...

Thank you!! I'm discovering how hard it is to balance marketing and writing time. Something I'm super excited about it getting to connect with other writers though and learning as much as I can!

Podcasts definitely seem intimidating but book clubs sound like fun! I'm very quickly realizing that pacing is going to be the key here. Thank you!!

Love this advice!! Thank you! I'll have to start working on a list for a little road trip :)

With this being my debut year as an indie author (ahh, so excited 😁) Looking for thoughts from other authors what they wish they would have known for their debut!

This still doesn't feel real but I officially hit 50k yesterday for a book that was only a dream and some random notes Nov 1st 🥳

Good luck!! I'm hoping to get a decent draft zero going 😬

I started at word count zero, a loose outline, and too much coffee yesterday 😂
Sending you all the good NaNo vibes ✨️

Managed just under 1k words and knocked out a hike with some pretty awesome falls! Finding some food and knocking out the rest of my words for the day :)

Happy First Day of NaNo!

Starting the day by getting some words on the page! Anyone else participating and want to root each other on?
