Writing the first draft of my second novel has challenged me in ways I never expected. After taking over 30 years to write my debut novel A Time for Us, I’m determined to write and publish book two within a year. But perfectionism, fear, and overthinking nearly stopped me in my tracks. In this video, I’m sharing my honest first draft process, how my writing approach has changed over the years, why I embraced “stream of consciousness” writing, and the mindset shift helping me finally make progress on book two. If you’re a writer, creative, or anyone struggling with perfectionism, this video is for you. ❤️ ✨ A Time for Us available now at: rachelanthonywrites.com #AuthorTube #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #FirstDraft #IndieAuthor #BookTube #WritingProcess #WomenWhoWrite
