I haven't posted as much lately because I am WRITING!
Yes, I'm back at work on my novel. That fills me with joy. I have this excel spreadsheet that my accountability partner and I have agreed to use (and she created) as we race to finish our first drafts in three months. We have to write a certain number of words every day. They don't have to be good words or even the right words. I am ahead of my goals and push a little more ahead every day. Those of you who have known me for a while will be surprised to hear this.
It helps that school is out so I'm not driving so much. It helps that the mornings are quiet and I can work on my novel before starting my paying work. It helps that I signed up for a writer's conference in October and want to be sure I take full advantage of it.
But what helps most of all is that I've quit pressuring myself about it all. I write to find the story. And slowly, it's coming.
Now I've just jinxed it.
