Hello hello, and welcome to episode 2 of the project crypts vlog series, which also doubles as an informal camp nanowrimo kick off vlog! In this episode, I tackle the prologue and the first chapter… several times lol

The first stages of drafting can be especially tricky for me, so I wanted to share the ups and downs of the process here with you all! While this project isn’t turning out quite as I’d expected, I’m having fun with it.

thank you for watching :)
