@violadavis Great, thank you! Take all the time you need. Your well-being and that you're satisfied with what you write is what matters. Have a great day or good night!
violadavis
@katrin_writes thank you! I'm aiming for 40 chapters total (and you'll see me repeatedly mention it's not an easy book to write because of the mental headspace I need to put myself in to write it so updates sometimes aren't regular, but the goal is to update weekly every friday)
katrin_writes
@violadavis You're welcome. I vote on everything I read to support authors. How far along into the book are we with the latest update? (Obviously I'm not there yet and I will read in order, don't worry, just curious.)

Happy International Women's Day to all the women* among you. Your kindness, your toughness, your softness, your drive, your compassion, your decisiveness, your openness, your strength, your solidarity, your ambition make this world worth living in.

I hadn't meant to enter any contests for a while, but this one came along and I've been a fan of PiP for a long time, sooo... find me in the New Adult category! A few more genres are open, but registration closes TODAY, so get your spot.

I have completed the judging of your books. You may have read @sarcasticoffeelover5 's post that the official announcement of the results and distribution of the prizes is delayed. While I will not reveal the winners as long as the contest is still on, you can DM me and request your scores and feedback.
All the best,
Katrin

The Wattys Bootcamp is officially over!
Check out the mentee showcases (logline, blurb, and first 1000 words of each story). There's a good chance you'll find your next read among them!
The Bootcamp was intense (*cough* thanks to my suboptimal time management). What I Should Have Done was not unedited, but it felt like it. Through the program, though, I learned a LOT about my writing style and choices that I can make in editing -- and I'm so proud of the result!
A huge thanks goes out to my mentor @nicolenorthwood for being so encouraging and supportive and patient. The space and advice you gave me were exactly what I needed.
And finally: if you're thinking about doing NaNoWriMo this year, check out the activities the Bootcamp Mentors and Pretty in Punk have planned. It's all in the book below.
Until next time,
Katrin
