RE: Chart Your Course Challenge
I love that he's supportive and asks great questions! If it were as easy to befriend a whale and become one...well...that would be sweet, but we would miss this whole journey! Plus I feel like the top might be lonely if you don't have true friends with you.
Alright...I have a slight confession...I have also been writing a book...for 7 years...
So I identified with this...
He says great! So you're back to writing your book?
Me: Ummm no. Still not yet 😆
It's a mess! hahaha I'm hoping that as I grow into a better writer here (fingers crossed LCL) that I'll be able to do it justice and finish it! Then I hope to be able to unleash it to trusted friends here to help edit, and then publish it a chapter at a time.
All of this was going to go into my "chart a course" post...but you got a sneak peek! Haha
nice!!!! and are you a member of The Writer's Block?? if not... join!!!
there are so many editors there - but @damianjayclay has been connected to me and my writing/random thoughts three times now... hehehehe so i have a special affinity for him!!!! :) really - go check it out!!!
and @freedomtowrite... what do you need to start writing again? to finish your book? what's stopping you?
I've been asking myself the same questions. I had a deadline to post the next chapter on Saturday. it is now Wednesday. aghhhhhhhhhh. and here's the kicker. it's already written!!!!!!
BUT TODAY. ok - that's it. today. today today today. for real. no more .... whatever it is that's stopping me. today.
but first i'm gonna go make a sandwich. hahahahahahahahaha
Haha, yes! I just recently joined in discord! I thought I'd head there when I was ready! I will check him out!
And...I think the biggest is confidence in what I'm writing. It was the first thing I've ever tried to write, and I led in with confidence, and got lost along the way. Along with intimidated that I wasn't good/able to do it. But since I've been active on Steemit, I'm really starting to feel better about it!
I'd love to read yours, so please post it!
TODAYYYYYYYYYY. it must be today!!! I keep asking myself... so what is it? why are you hesitating??? (i have 10 chapters written)
and... i'm really trying to figure that out. maybe it's because i haven't finished it yet. so i think i don't want to finally submit the last chapter that i've written and then go. ummmmmm crap.
I'd like to think it was kinda just that simple(ish)
but... i think there is probably more too.
but tonight. no excuses. next chapter
ok @freedomtowrite, it was really late but i stayed awake and i did it!!!! hehehe technically "tomorrow" but... still... kinda sorta today :) (since i never went to sleep until it was posted!)
i think i'll post the next installments on Saturday/Wednesday and so on. it's called Fireflies on my blog - check it out!!! hehehehe
I'm so happy for you! I will go look right now!
Ok, I've read chapter 1 (and loved it!!!) but 2 will be later today! As soon as I get back on, you are my priority!
Thank you !!!! :)
