Author (Fantasy, Sci-Fi). Editor.

I don't even know how to feel right now, which is odd because this is my 8th book. Maybe it's because I've never restructured to this degree before, or maybe it's that I'm so invested in this story. I guess it hasn't sunk in yet that the book is done25 Mar 2025 15:18 +0000at://did:plc:r5jfgoycqrywg3wuvdrbeto7/app.bsky.feed.post/3ll7kxgrwbk22https://bsky.app/profile/nlcarterwrites.bsky.social/post/3ljr7g3hb522cI have one chapter left in my book to revise, and then it's done. I've been working on this book for 2+ years. The final draft is nothing like the first draft (a first for me). I really believe in this book; this series is my legacy, so to speak, the thing I'll leave in this world when I'm gone.07 Mar 2025 04:49 +0000at://did:plc:r5jfgoycqrywg3wuvdrbeto7/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljr7g3hb522chttps://bsky.app/profile/nlcarterwrites.bsky.social/post/3le4gmgghns2eFrom my next book, Buried by Secrets and Blood. #WritingCommunity #Snippetshare #booksy [contains quote post or other embedded content]25 Dec 2024 07:26 +0000at://did:plc:r5jfgoycqrywg3wuvdrbeto7/app.bsky.feed.post/3le4gmgghns2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/nlcarterwrites.bsky.social/post/3ldj6fb4ayc2uChoose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you.
