Doing things on your own sometimes can be a bit intimidating. For so long, anything I’ve done in business has either been taught to me in school or directed for me at work. But with my most passionate quest in writing (and forming a business of it), I’m doing this on my own. I’m making my own way, my own mistakes, my own successes…my own memories, but I am doing it. It’s a tough road, but I keep taking steps forward.

Frustrat(ing) describes the feeling of being so close to the end of a first draft of a book and feeling writer’s block—or maybe writer’s exhaustion. I’m dealing with a little frustration right now because most of my thoughts are now on paper and I’m wondering if this is anything more than 75 pages of single spaced lines of my scattered thoughts—or do I actually have a point. I went through the same thing with my first book and maybe this is simply my trigger that it’s time to pass my draft on to my editor so that she can smooth over my thoughts. God bless editors.

I’m in a good place right now. I feel inspired.
