I love how a lot of people I know (including myself) have a messy fantasy as the first manuscript ever written 🤣 Also, you’re doing great! I love the vibes of your book and Peter the car 🥰

Thank you, Lourdes! And it does seem like lots of writers have a terrible fantasy somewhere in their catalogue 😂

Like Marina has said, it’s just seeds. Maybe experience helps us learn to water them better. I personally feel like I didn’t have the skills to properly revise mine, so maybe one day it will become something different. Maybe yours will as well, or become something not fantasy but with its origins in that one story you put away.
