I bet you thought I had given up on this blog and forgotten all about my loyal followers.
Not a chance. I am halfway there with over 26000 words. The story is really messed up and in outline form in some places and other spots actually have conversations and make sense!
I am having a hard time with it though I must admit. I keep changing gears as I write the story. The premise is the same, but the road map to get to the end keeps changing.
That might be a good thing, I don't know, but forcing myself to sit and write is the hardest part.
So I wrote on a sticky and placed it above my screen "I am a writer; I write books".
Now when I find myself drifting and not wanting to be sitting in my chair, I read that aloud. Does it help? I don't know, but it doesn't hurt!
I also have written the following on my notepad, and I refer to it every single day. "Do Not Multitask! and Do Not Give Up!"
Until next time,
Carol
