I've completed the first chapter and I feel relieved. Anyone who writes knows the struggle of writing that first chapter. My problem is motivation. That and my toddler harassing me every chance she gets. Being a parent has got to be my favorite thing in the world. It's also probably one of the most exhausting. But she's worth it.
Anyway, now that I have that done, I only have to do at least one more chapter this month. While I would much rather get all of it done in one go, scribbling down chapter after chapter until my hand goes numb and then probably attempting to continue with my other hand before giving up because it looks like chicken scratch, I'm trying to pace myself so I don't feel overwhelmed and get bored with it. For the time being, I'm gonna plan and outline short stories for next month in between chapters.
I hate having to leave pieces alone before editing and writing another draft. I'm eager to get something-ANYTHING published just to have it out there. I may eventually post three different pieces to see which is the most popular.
I've thought about posting my poems every so often, but I'm not sure yet. Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts, so send them my way and tell me what you'd like to see!
