Thank you for sharing your process and your struggles. I'm a total plantser and lover of it for now, but quite curious to see how you end up switching that around for your next book. All the best and looking forward to listen to you.

Hi Susan. Thank you for sharing! It's so rare we get an insight into this messy part of the process for novelists. I really appreciate your honesty as it makes me feel a bit validated as well! :')

(I'm almost finished - she says lol - with my first novel/ novella. Pushing myself on it now and struggling with the editing. It's going to be a petite 50-60k words)

Great to hear the self awareness you have around your creativity, your process and when your inner critic kicks in. But there is always room for more self compassion and gentleness with writing isn't there? Good luck with your editing this week <3 Janelle
