STOP Editing Your Writing? | Summer Writing Update + Q&A

In this video, I answer your questions about editing & writing, and also share a summer writing update. I cover topics like the most helpful lesson I've learned lately as a writer, how to know when it's time to start a new book, how I've improved as a writer, and whether or not you should edit your writing.

Whether you're a beginning writer or an experienced one, I hope this video is insightful! I love sharing my personal writing journey with you, and want to know: how did your writing summer go?

ABOUT ME
Hi y'all! I'm Rachel, a twenty-year-old writer from Toronto. I've been writing for eight years and am in my final year of my BA in creative writing. On my channel, I document my writing journey and try to post once a week (usually on Fridays).

DISCLAIMER:
I'm only one writer, and approach each video from my experience/expertise. While I make content like writing advice videos on this channel, it's important to me that my viewers ultimately write in the way that best resonates with them. :)
