I realized I need to Revise my entire book halfway through finishing Draft Two | Writing Vlog

Hi Friends! I've come to the realization that Draft two of Project LARK is not going well...in fact I have no idea where it's going. SO we're stepping back, revising the story, and hopefully gonna pave a nice clear road for Draft Three. Sometimes, it just needs to be done--even when we don't want it to be :') #writer #writingcommunity #authortube As always, Thanks for stopping by ❤︎‬‪‪ ♡ FREE NOTION TEMPLATES ♡ Short Story Outline Template ➜ https://alpine-hip-41d.notion.site/Sh...
