Today I'm happy to report that I am almost better! Although my throat is still really sore. I highly recommend not getting a cold. It's not fun.
Any-a-who I have a confession. So I should be nearing the end of the middle, but since I only had a week to work on the beginning it really sucked. I forgot who I was as a writer, and I got caught up in this whole challenge crap. I needed a schedule and deadlines but I ended up trying to force myself to write in a way that wasn't me. I can't write random scenes to use eventually, I can't just write a little bit (I have to keep going until my hunger is satisfied), and I cannot keep going back and forth between parts. I found myself and realized why everything has come to a halt. I realized what my road block was. This is not me. I love the way I write and although it has taken a little bit of time I found myself once more. I have officially started my book over and right now I have the first couple of scenes. I had some of my family to listen to my story and so far I think they like it, although I have made a rule they are not allowed to read it. When my family reads a story they turn into English professors, and go crazy about grammar, punctuation and drive me nuts about things making sense. So until I am ready to edit they cannot under any circumstances read my writings. I know it's late to be starting over but things happen, and I intend to finish by the 90 days and I don't mean just writing my book I mean editing too.
I will have a full and completed manuscript of my entire book and be working on getting it published by the 91st day. Nothing is going to stop me, because I have made up my mind.
