I am really good at procrastinating, which is something I really didn't want to do for this challenge, but I've gone ahead and done it. I don't know if I'm going to hit my 50,000 word count in 4 days, but I'm sure going to try.

About the Creator

I think about writing more than I write, but call myself a writer as opposed to a thinker.

    I’m late but I hope you accomplished your goal. I don’t blame you about hiring an editor, I’ll be doing the same with my novel. I write a book for NANOWRIMO as well. All the best to you going forward!

  • The prose here is so intense. If you've got slots open, I'd love to read this and give honest feedback on it! Here's to hoping you reach your goals and you managed to hit your mark in December!

  • Lol, my anxiety would never let me procrastinate. That really makes me look up to you guys who are able to 🤣 So glad you decided to self publish. All the best to you!

    Procrastinating is something we all do. Good on you for recognizing that

    I used Get Covers for my book. I did everything online from giving them a concept for what I thought the design to be to editing it. They were great to work with and it cost me $35. They're a Ukrainian company so I don't know what their status is but give them a shot. Good luck!

    I cannot imagine, Ashley, of having to rewrite a novel. Kudos to you. Such a process I guess, but it sounds like you are learning a lot along the way. I’m very excited for you. ☺️👍
