Reality Check Editing my 13-year-old self

[Nikky Lee]

This feels a bit like putting my underwear out on the balcony for the neighborhood to see, but I went and critiqued the first manuscript (well first chapter of the first manuscript) I ever wrote (aged 13). Turned out to be an interesting exercise, and also quite rewarding to see how far I've come.

Editing my 13-year-old self: Secrets of Magic (c.2002)

My critiquing hat is on as I revisit the first story I wrote when I was 13. Brace for cringe, and ruthlessness.

And huge kudos for finishing a novel at 13! That 13-year-old-you deserves a pat on the back
