ICYMI: I’m attempting to document the entire process of writing my third novel, from blank page to (fingers crossed!) eventual publication. That means every breakthrough, confidence wobble, and craft tool I test out along the way. You can catch up on the first 4 posts here.

Whether you’re a writer desperate to know how the process works for other authors or just a curious reader, I’m giving you a peek into the messy backstage of how a book gets made.

Hi book pals,

It’s been a month since our last check-in and I almost weaseled my way out of writing this one, because the truth is I’ve made very little book progress in that time.

But then I thought: if the point of this series is to document the writing process… well, the zero months are part of it, too.

Keep reading for:

  • A very unproductive writing month

  • Character job research & a mini breakthrough

  • Progress away from the page
