My alfa reader, aka critique partner, aka bestie, has finished comments on my messy 2nd draft. Today, we have a meeting to chat about my broken plot and clumsy prose.
Writers, how do you cope with imposter syndrome?? It's hitting hard atm, but I'm trying to stay positive. Emphasis on trying.
Wish me luck 🍀

I heard you and now I'm back brainstorming ideas, trying to add a bit of darkness and fantasy into the designs you saw 💙

A tale about a tired dragon who desperately wants to sleep but is rudely interrupted by heroes seeking to slay him 😅

Lord of Eternal Night by Ben Alderson
Jak’s life has only one meaning; break the curse or dië trying. Marius’s life has no meaning; not since he was cursed into the twisted, blöod thirsty creature of night. For years the witches have waited for their salvation, a way to return the magic that was sacrificed when the curse was first cast. Jak, a boy born with power that the witches have not seen in a century, is their prophesied saviour. The one who is to kill.l the creature, break the curse and restore magic to his coven. Sent to the creature’s castle as the final Claim, Jak must get close enough to land the final blow. It is what he has trained all his life to accomplish. Not all is as it seems when Jak uncovers secrets and half-truths. The creature is not the haunting beast he had been brought up to hate. Emotions war as new feelings are uncovered. For what is more dangerous than hate? Lust.

So it turns out a moat (a deep trench dug around a fortress) is indeed a great way to protect a castle.
It keeps the bookish nerdies out at least.
