Editing has been the most rewarding and devastating part of my journey. There were many scenes that needed to be rewritten or cut. I’m so thankful to my family and friends who were my willing (but unfortunate) beta-readers. Thanks to their feedback and help, my manuscript got to this point! And now I’ve finally finished the last round of edits, focusing on polishing the first thirty pages in particular. 

It’s time to move on to researching literary agents! I’m looking for someone I feel like I can connect with. I feel a little lost in this process and definitely nervous, but I have been reading a few articles for tips. Additionally, I’ve been looking at book descriptions and scrolling through #MSWL and #AmQuerying.

What I have been avoiding, though, is the synopsis. DUN DUN DUN! Cue thunder and lightning. I dread it. I can write a book, but the thought of summarizing it in a couple of paragraphs fills me with dread.

But really, this should be the easiest book report I’ve ever written.

See you next time! 😀
