I have to post this, because I find it so hilarious. I was looking over the stats for this blog and one of my popular posts this week can be found here. It is a post from EXACTLY a year ago, today.
How much different do I feel about my life!! I could absolutely be a stay-at-home-author and get work done. I think I needed some serious work grind to remember there are things out there I love to do - and writing is really one of them.
I may not be the most fabulous writer ever to grace the halls of of the printed word, but I love what I do and I think that shows.
Yesterday I wrote three chapters (Yes, I did manage to get all three, haha, my fiance can't yell at me!) It averaged out somewhere in the range of 3.3k in words. I went back today and read over it, tweaked a bit here and there. I don't know if it's the outline I made so I can see the path clearly... or just that the more I write, the more naturally it comes... or if I'm in one of those "It's just writing itself!" modes... but I did them in record time yesterday.
I feel like a total bundle of nerves about the whole thing. Only ten days ago, I ordered a cover for my almost complete first novel. Only a year ago, I wondered if I'd ever finish writing a story!!!
Well, I am proud of myself, and I hope you, dear reader, can share in the warm rays of my ego also :)
This is my place to vent and extrapolate on personal matters. I may also talk about my life as an indie writer. For strictly release information, please click "here".
Hey, I'm super excited for you too! Can't wait to see the cover, you know how much I love new covers!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I decided to hire a cover artist. It's a hit to my wallet that I am dreading, but I have zero drawing skills whatsoever and doubt I could put together one by myself. I have lots of artsy friends, but everyone is always so busy I ended up seeking out a person to whom this is their job.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope it turns out amazing!
