I’ve figured out that it’s the first sixty pages that are tough for me. I have a folder of abandoned WIPs from a few pages to sixty pages. I don’t know why this is my abandoning point, but it is…


Number eight on this post made me realize that I need to FINISH MY SHIT. Mostly… the shit I’m working on right now.

Saturday I wrote fifteen pages in an hour—on a project I’m not supposed to be writing right now. It was liberating. WITHOUT YOU is really hard right now. But the side project is a contemporary, and I find contemporary so, so hard to write.

But I’m going to finish both projects. I WILL. I’ll do WIP Wednesday so I can see my progress and maybe (MAYBE) have people hold me accountable. Because I want to finish Without You and the contemporary. I also want to finish SecretProject, but that needs to stew some more (seriously; I threw away almost 200k words that I wrote in almost four months. It needs to stew a while.) But the least I can do is write and finish Without You and the contemporary. I have ten more months until 2012.

So, yeah. I guess I’m saying that I’m going to write two manuscripts this year. TO FINISH MY SHIT.

Who is with me? I’m going to need some cheerleaders and people to hold me accountable. X)
