What was I thinking? How could I have possibly thought that it was at all achievable to work on not one, not two, but three stories in the month of September? When I have yet to get one book through to the final draft?
I guess I was so excited to get to the next part--to provide you all with some quality reading material and incredible characters to obsess about--that I slipped on my rose-colored glasses for a minute.
But, I need to be more realistic with my time. And the reality is: my current life situation makes it possible for only so much to get accomplished in a day. I need to remember that.
So--how has my plan changed? September arrived and I quickly realized...well, see above...and I switched up my plan. New plan: finish the newsletter exclusive novel by October 31st. Totally doable.
And while I really wanted to work on BOOK ONE...I simply wasn't ready. It needs to sit...and it needs A LOT of changes. And I needed positive, fast, forward momentum.
The newsletter exclusive novel is exactly what I needed--something fun, that sparks my creativity, and gets me pumped for what's to come. I'm having such a great
time writing it for you all, and I cannot wait to hear what you think of it when it's ready. One of my favorite things about it? It's exclusive and just for all of you newsletter subscribers. I love that. I love writing something as a gift to everyone who is kind enough to take a chance on me and my books.
I hope you love it as much as I do.
