I sent my mentor my favorite chapters yet...here’s what she said. ⚡️ cozy writing diary ep. 2 🕯

Hey friends! Welcome to episode 2 of "The Writing Diaries," a new series that documents the process of revising my high fantasy novel from start to finish. I hope you enjoy today's cozy writing vlog! Today I'm tackling what might be my favorite installment of chapters yet!

Set in a world of myth and magic, Project Amaranth is the first book in a trilogy: an epic tale of love and loss, hope, grief, and the bonds of friendship forged through fire.

Thanks for watching! 😊
