Hi again,
With a new writing and school routine in place it makes life easier and
harder. It's easier because when I have those boundaries I don't procrastinate
that much. I get what I want done in a timely manner. The bad part is
that if my system is disrupted, holy heck it’s a mess. All my discipline goes
flying out the window. I try to pick up the pieces of my day and sometimes it
works, and sometimes it doesn't.
My writing has gone excellently. I set daily and weekly goals, which I have
been making. Thank you, annoying competitive personality. At my current
pace my first draft will be done in a timely matter. Yay! Once that is
done I'll put in effect the Drafting Cycles that I previously wrote about. I will
actually be working on a different project and I'm psyched!
With my book out to agents I am in a waiting period of sorts. I'm waiting to
see what path my life will go depending on if my book gets signed or not. If it
doesn't I haven't quite planned out what will happen afterwards. I'm fine with
this because I have enough worry and stress running through my mind as it is. I
don't have the brain capacity to worry about over things that might not happen.
Granted the odds are not looking great for me. Then again the odds aren't that great
for first time writers.
My family isn't quite pleased with my hesitancy or (if I'm being brutally honest)
sticking my head in the sand. I am merely focusing on one day at a time and
that is all I can do.
