Constant revision cycles
For the past 3 weeks I have started writing my fantasy novel I’m 17 and a senior in highschool. I spent so many years world building and thinking about my characters but never started writing. I’m on chapter 7 about 14440 words so at. And I find myself constantly cycling into constant rereading and editing every chapter I make. I feel like I never have enough words and I constantly compare it to the poppy war. How do I avoid these constant rewrite cycles and push through my draft. If any of you guys would like to read what I have so far I’d love to share the doc with you! The premise of the book follows Adrian Marseilles the daughter of the Tzar of The Iron Empire. It basically takes place in this worlds equivalent of the 1800’s years ago there was the libertas war a global spanning war fighting for a landmass at the center of the planet. After this war all dragons were killed and the divine arts along with them. (Divine arts are the magic system which are directly tied to the dragons) The Iron Empire. Ow creates elemental weapons to wage warfare and seek to restart there campaign for libertas. Adrian herself is someone seeking to end war and replace the Iron Enpire with something “better” I had a really hard time trying to explain the plot🤣
