Based on a True Story by Amanda R DeWitt logo

07.13.2020

13. Lucky Number 13

Lucky number 13.

I think today is going to be an edit day. With my printed out pages and bright purple pen. Or even a teal pen if I’m feeling wild.

I’ll also share with you some new pages I’ve made for the blog you can check out.

New Pages:

The True Story aka The Backstory

the true story based on a true story

Inspired By

Other Blogs

other blogs I've started on based on a true story by amanda r dewitt; text on white surface with coffee, a pad of paper, and a pile of paperclips

If I decide to do some writing today, I’ll come back and edit this post. Not sure anyone is reading at this point anyways!

Catch up on Story #1 drafts here.

Update to add: I did edit! The whole thing. 10.5 pages (double spaced)

Dobby is super helpful with the writing process

About Amanda R. DeWitt

I'm a teacher, cat mom, wife to a bearded gentleman, and coffee junkie. I've always secretly wanted to be an author (or not so secretly--I've started 8 other blogs). This is my space to practice. It's not all great. It doesn't all make sense. But I'm doing it anyways. I'm happy you're here. :)
