You're listening to the beautiful mess podcast.

This week we are sharing our summer bucket list as well as our summer reading list because

this is the final episode before our break.

So strap in and we're also going to be talking about some of our favorite podcasts so hopefully

giving you some ideas of other things to listen to while you wait for us to return.

Awesome!

Okay so Emma everyone wants to know how your murder novel is coming along so yeah before

we get into it do you want to just give us a quick update on how it is going in novel

and?

Yeah yeah so I'm still slowly writing.

I have I think eight chapters done out of like 22 or something like that.

They'll probably be more than that and yeah I feel like I will be like three fours done

by the end of the summer or that's kind of my goal.

I would say I'm not quite halfway which was my goal for spring but I'm nearing it so

I reached out to someone I'm not going to say who because I'm not sure we're going to

get to work together so I don't want to like put her on the spot or anything but I reached

out to someone who basically she does kind of freelance editor services where she will

read through your work and give you editorial notes so not not checking the grammar not

that kind of thing.

More like hey this character is kind of flat.

Hey what if we change the timeline here or you know bigger picture things not just like

move your commas around not that kind of thing.
