Congratulations!!!! That’s amazing. I can’t wait to hear more about it as you write the second draft

RPS Update: 1st Draft is Complete!

I did it! It took a little over a month, but Rival Potion Shops Draft 1, or “oops I accidentally did Nano a little earlier this year,” is done. It’s coming in at just under 66k, which is great- I’m an underwriter, so this gives me plenty of breathing room for draft 2. 

Excerpt from chapter 1, Sherry talking to Ambrose as they watch Eli set up shop:

“He’s the nephew of old Mr. Severia. Inherited the shop from him,” Sherry said proudly, now that it was her turn to parade about her observations. “I think he’s about your and Dawn’s age, too.” She squeezed Ambrose’s arm. “Wouldn’t it be nice to make a new friend?”

Ambrose grimaced. “No.”

Next Steps:

I’ll be waiting on re-reading for two weeks. In the meantime, expect some artwork!

I don’t think I’ll do alpha readers. I’ve got a list of notes going already, and I think it will be more beneficial for me to get through a draft 2, then do proper beta readers.

If you are interested in beta reading (likely in the new year, so I’m not asking anyone to read during the holidays), please let me know and I can tag you when I do make an official beta reader call post. No pressure, of course!

Send help, I have to think of a real title.

Thanks for sticking with me through all my draft 1 posts! More stuff to come soon!
