Since then I've been transcribing it onto the computer. It's time to edit!

I'm so excited about this. I feel like this turned out a lot better than the last novel I wrote, which is just sitting abandoned in my notebooks. I'm gonna see if I can get this one published! :DDDD

The big question is, what am I gonna do for NaNoWriMo this year? Originally I was going to work on this, but I finished a full two months ahead of schedule! Oh well! ^_^

This is the same project I've been showing on instagram.

The outline for a new novel I'm currently working on! :D Do you guys outline or do you just jump into action? #writersofinstagram #writing

*sigh* I'm at a really slow point in my novel... But it's important, so... #writersofinstagram #writing

My main character is autistic and it really shows in this scene. "I love you but OMG DONT TOUCH ME." #autism #asd #writing #writersofinstagram

I started a scene from the point of view of one character before I realized that it would be better to use a different character. So I switched, but the dialogue and the action is the same for both versions, so it's cool to see them side by side. :3 #writersofinstagram #writing #notebook

All the pages of my current novel thus far. I typed up the beginning, though I'm handwriting everything right now. This will probably change when NaNoWriMo arrives and I need to keep track of my word count. Will I finish this project during NaNoWriMo? That's the goal! #writersofinstagram #writing #amwriting #nanowrimo

More novel writing... Found this blue pen sitting in a box somewhere; didn't want it to go to waste. I like writing with blue ink. ^_^ #writersofinstagram
