I've finished editing Alone in Paris! So excited and happy about the progress with Alone in Paris. It really has come along way since I was fourteen and even more so since I rewrote it and started polishing it for publication.
Alone in Paris started out as an idea I had when I was 14. I wrote a few chapters for it while I was writing another book, and found it too difficult to write 2 books at once so I put Alone in Paris aside for the time being. It wasn't until I was 17 (maybe almost 18) that I picked up Alone in Paris again with the intent to complete it.
I deleted most of the chapters that I wrote when I was 14, only keeping the gist of the first few chapters but completely changing up the writing. I rewrote those chapters because they were horrible, and got to work.
I had the story pictured perfectly in my mind at that point and I just wrote it down as it came to me. I don't remember how long it took me to write, but I edited it 3 times after I finished it and that took me a year. This was the 4th and final time I am editing Alone in Paris and I feel like it's come a long way and it's where I want it to be now.
I'm going to write a post about how I got the idea for Alone in Paris and give more details about it soon, but for now, I just wanted to share with you that I've finished the editing process and that I'm closer to sharing it with you all!
Next year is going to be crazy and scary for me since I think I want to move at the end of next spring, but I still plan on launching Alone in Paris next year!
