Maybe this journal should be more about how to become an editor, because that seems to be how I spend most of my time.

What Did I Accomplish Today to Be a Writer?

I did do Day 312 of the 100 Words a Day Writing Challenge 2024 through L.A. Writers’ Lab. Then I went through the rest of my manuscript using Pro Writing Aid as an editing tool. I’m not too sure about the “curly quotation marks” – I think I’m going to have to do a bit more research before I finish that part. Next, I used Twisted Wave to edit more chapters in my audiobook and then participated in a writing class. After that, I talked to a friend about a logo and business ideas, and finally, I wasted about a half hour on Instagram…

Research & Development I’m Doing to Improve My Writing & Business Strategy

There are several tools I’m trying to learn at once: Scrivener, Twisted Wave, Affinity, Pro Writing Aid, QuickBooks…

Thanks for reading what I’m writing,
