  • I was so sure this would take me longer, but hey! I hit my goal of finishing this round of revisions before the end of May! Next step: prepping this baby for beta readers and putting out a call for said beta readers. Which is totally not scary at all.
    Also, by the time this video is up, I’ve beaten Jedi Survivor (and it was amaaaazing), so if you’re a fan please let me know down below so I can fangirl with you. (I love Cal SO MUCH.)

    Congrats on finishing your draft! Also your excitement about Jedi Survivor was infectious. I’ve recently gotten back into gaming and we only have a Switch right now but I’m dying for another console so we can play other things 😂

      AHHH THANK YOU! 💖 Smut and werewolves are always a ‘yes please!’ for me! It should have its own section in book stores, let’s be real! 😂

    I would say he is a Soft Dom and is 100% loveable. I would also love to see the synopsis and read the updated versone of the story. Also so jealous of you buying jedi survivor hope it's great. And I should have said at the beginning congrats on finishing the draft. Oh I was wondering are you going to pay an editor this time?

      SO GOOD TO KNOW because I’m kind of biased towards Jackson myself. 😂 I’ll definitely share it with you when I finish omg, and at this point, I want to take the draft you have and burn it because this new draft is so much better lol. Jedi Survivor is really so good, it’s taking everything in me not to hyperfixate and become OBSESSED lol, because it’s a slippery slope. But if you get a chance to play it, girl let me yell at you about all my feelings. 😅 That’s a good question, ugh. I feel like it’s probably the best course of action, so I’ll probably shop around and try to find something affordable-thankfully, I have a small chunk of IG friends who do that, so I’ll have to check out their rates.

      @@aprilkayauthor I watched someone's playthrough around when it came out but hadn't played it till I decided to do it on stream now I feel tied to the stream. I'll probably watch someone's playthrough again soon.

    I always dread opening up beta reader feedback because I'm afraid of looking stupid/having mistakes, but it always makes my manuscripts SO MUCH better. It's worth the cringe for sure haha.

      Uggghh logic tells me you’re a hundred percent right, but ya girl is ready to pitch my manuscript in the ocean instead lmao. Thank youuuu though, it definitely helps to know the cringe is worth it if I can just power through 😂
