Day 37 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge

book in the background with its pages open and the text Write a book in 45 days challenge over it

I wish I had good news to tell you, but I don’t.

I am not going to finish this book in the next few days.

Part of me feels extremely disappointed, but I also feel proud.

My best friend told me to quit this challenge a few weeks ago because of how depressed and stressed I was.

I told him that I needed to see how far I could go.

Now, I am here to tell you that it doesn’t look like I will finish this project. For a few reasons, but for one, it needs more than 50,000 words to finish, more like twice that amount.

And the second reason, I have found that this book was not the book I wanted to write. The more I wrote was, the less the premise of the book felt right to me.

So what did I do today?

I wrote a lot, but also very little.

There were moments where I sat and asked myself if this was what I wanted for my life.

The answer was yes, even if I have to struggle to write a good story for the rest of my life, I want to keep writing. I am sure as time goes by I will learn how to create beautiful stories.

So for now, I am going to keep writing.

Word Count: 34,761 words

See you tomorrow, friends.
