Oh no. It's April. That means a quarter of the year is gone and I haven't completed any new projects. I have worked on them. I'm making progress, but there not done. At least I'm keeping up with my reading challenge on Goodreads. Write faster. Write faster. It's not that simple. I continue to get bogged down in various stretches of narrative, struggling to figure out interesting ways to move the story forward while working in bits of action, thought, and description. I've been happy with the final result but not so much with the pace.
Taking part in the A to Z Challenge? This is my first year. I'm part of the team at Untethered Realms. You can check out my contributions for K and U as the month progresses.
Until next month, keep writing.
Fortunately, it's not a race. Just keep at it.
ReplyDeleteProgress is progress, even if it is slow. I thought I'd have much more done by April than I do have, but at the same time, I have accomplished things. That's always good. Looking forward to your K and U posts on Untethered Realms! :)
ReplyDeleteSo long as it's on the forefront of your mind, it will find its way onto the pages soon enough. :)
ReplyDeleteJust don't press yourself too hard or you'll scare the muses. They don't like working over pressure. Keep your pace and you'll get things done.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I'd hoped to have more done by now, but we just need to keep on trekking forward. Have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThe beauty in self-publishing is you can take your time and write then publish when you're ready :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't give up on it.
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly why I can't write quickly. I can tell if something's off, but it takes a while to figure out what it is and find the best possible way to solve the problem. I'm writing a chapter near the middle and there are clues, but no real thrills. I finally figured I'd stick in my weird old "Baba Yaga" character I introduced several chapters earlier with some prophesies of doom. That should do it! lol
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your projects. You're a fabulous writer and I'm sure you'll come up with something great - if not fast. Have a lovely weekend, and pass by my blog for the Zombie Party!
Each word you write is progress made and you can only go at your own pace. Looking forward to your UR posts!
ReplyDeleteYour making progress - that's what matters. You got this!
