Finito!

It is 12:32 A.M. on Christmas Day, and I am in a hotel up the road from my parent’s house and I have finished Book 2.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

It must feel fantastic to actually finish writing a piece. I wish I had better discipline to finish what I’m working on, but that’s another story!

Congrats to you!

Thanks! Ha, I had a major case of post-project letdown afterward, as I always do. But it was nice to enjoy the holiday without feeling like I should be writing.

I once wrote most of a book on my lunch hour. Little bits of time add up. If I can do it, you can do it!

  Oh stop it; I’m sure your work is fantastic.
  
  I would personally love to connect with a fellow writer that I can pitch ideas with and help to hold the other accountable. Perhaps my biggest fear is not being “good”. Does that make sense?

    Letdown meaning “Oh I’m finished; what do I do now?” LOL
    
    Look around where you are–there are writers groups nearly everywhere and also online. The only way to get better is to keep doing it and keep getting good feedback.
    
    You know how to get to Carnegie Hall–practice! :)

      When it comes to writers groups around where I live, I always seem to miss them. Odd hours and work schedules never seem to align up, you know?
      
      Are you apart of any writers groups online? Would you mind giving me some feedback?

        I’m not, at the moment; I’ve had to pull back from any crit stuff because I’m job hunting. I don’t want to commit to anything when I have no idea if I may have to move soon (ugh, I hate moving).
        
        Here’s a blog post with some places online to check out–I’m planning to see about Talentville myself, when I’m ready to tackle screenwriting.

        I see; well I wish you the best in those personal endeavors. When it comes to finding a job and moving, it’s not easy!
        
        If you don’t mind me asking, is it a big move?
        
        Thank you for the link; I will definitely check them out.

        Any move is a big move when you have a lot of books–oof!
