Day 33 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
I want to take a nap. To make all the words in my head fall out of my head and land on paper. Many of the stories in my head have a hard time transitioning from my imagination to reality. Now, as I write my little report, I understand that I need to keep going.… Continue reading Day 33 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
Day 32 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
If I missed a day and just took it to rest, would that be so bad? Something funny about deadlines is how much I use them to get work done, and how much I struggle with them. I want my work to be perfect, for it to shine like no other, but with a deadline,… Continue reading Day 32 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge

My head hurts. I have elevation sickness, and my head hurts so badly. So I only had a bit of writing done today. So what did I do today? Self-care. I ate, showered, tried to rest.

However, I want to finish this book so badly, not because I think… Continue reading Day 29 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
Day 28 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
How do you keep your characters interested in acting their part in the story? For a long time, I struggled with this concept, and sometimes I still do. But one of the things I noticed about writing is that our characters want to be a part of the action and where the conversation is. They… Continue reading Day 28 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge

Today felt like a lot of admin work, I turned in a few things that were due today. Three assignments, well, four assignments to be sure, and I felt good about it.

Day 25 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
Not every day is created equal and I recognize that today. I spent the majority of the day relaxing and trying not to cry. Had a pep-talk and a step a way from delusion and reality meeting with myself. Even if it is hard to write this book, it is still hard to recognize when… Continue reading Day 25 of Write a Book in 45 Days Challenge
