There is absolutely no need to edit anything at this point in the writing process. You need to just keep spilling all the messiness of loves all over the pages until you get it all out. Editing and re-writing comes much later.
That said, you are absolutely amazing! There are so many tiny tidbits in here that tug all all the different threads of the deepest places of the heart.
Thank you so much! That is my goal. I really want to be able to go back in and rewrite some of these more emotionally charged sections with more of my real emotions. I do think that will help the weight of the book as well.
I can help with this. But first, I think you probably need some time to just let the first spill breathe. youโll get there, and there is absolutely no rush to this process. It took me 10 years to publish my memoir.
๐ Your love for sweet Lily is beyond beautiful, she has the best momma. ๐๐๐ I can only imagine how hard this must be to write. You did it so well. Sending you so many hugs. ๐
Im struggling hard with the end right now. I canโt get past more than 200 words while editing before I breakdown. Literally feel the lump in my throat just thinking about it. Not sure what to do about that.
Thank you Jen. I not only appreciate you reading but also commenting. I know that this particular text can be heavy to read, so thank you so much! My only hope is that my strength to share will help another momma who was just like me, never have to feel afraid and alone like I did, because of my own challenges.
