Yesterday I finished the first draft of The Adventures of Pixie Piper 3: Dark Wish. I'm feeling pretty good! The writing flowed well with this one. I'd done an outline and followed it. Nothing too detailed, but with the most important events already included. I must admit, it helped a lot. Of course, I did do the write a scene…
