-INSTAGRAM LIVE SHOW REPLAY SUMMARY-
Hello everyone! Camp NaNoWriMo is live now for July so I wanted to jump in with a chat on Instagram Live. I go over different topics like my editing process, how I outlined my novel, and answer a Q&A from fellow writers.

One of the questions that came up was my favorite and least favorite Young Adult book tropes. This leads me to explain how Ember Dragon Daughter came to me while thinking about those YA common book tropes. Get a feel at those topics in the timestamps below.
