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.
