Celebrate the Small Things!
Hi everyone, Jess here :)
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday!
This week I am celebrating the fact I finally have a polished first chapter! It's not much, but it's more than I've had in a really long time. Now onto the other 33...
Yay for your shiny first chapter. I don't think I'd have the patience to work on one chapter at a time. I have to get everything down on paper before I can even think about editing.
