A day in the life of a writer:
Starting a new Chapter: <blank screen> “Ummmm….where do I begin?” <stares at screen, looks at notes, stares at screen>
50 words into new chapter: “This book is absolute trash!”
500 words into new chapter: “Not sure I like it, but it’s something.”
1,000 words into new chapter: “The characters are coming to life. I’m seeing sparks of the story!”
End of chapter and a few edits along the way: “This book is amazing! I can’t wait to share the ending with readers!”
Go to write NEXT chapter: <blank screen> “Not sure this book is working after all….”
Rinse. Repeat. 😭
Until you finally, see all the chapters come together, in the end, keep going. 🙌
