is there any feeling more satisfying than highlighting a bunch of waffle from a previous draft and hitting "delete"???
TWO chapters edited today; will I make it a third?! that would be four in total this week...
look I MIGHT edit two chapters if I finish ch3 today and get through ch4 tomorrow, but I'm finding editing weirdly hard this time round??? π«

just worked out that if I average 2500 words a chapter (with space to go above and below where required, ofc) I'll meet my 40k cut target for this draft and honestly the realisation has made me feel lighter

enjoying the sun on my lunchtime walk earlier, I stopped at the scent of blackberries on the breeze locating a few fat, ripe berries, I picked one each for my mum and I ...and then proceeded to have an internal breakdown over the texture of the blackberry's receptacle π
hello #queerwriters π if I could edit two chapters this week, that would be amazing (and then I'll need to really pick up the pace lmao but just to ease myself into it let's say two for now) also: finish the book I'm currently reading *or* DNF it. it's going to be a close call π
