And here we go again
Sometimes when I sit down to write I have an idea in my mind how it will all go - yeah, I'm that naive - or at least I was. Now I realise that nothing ever really goes to plan, and the best thing? That's ok! Finally, I'm on board with my own structure. Celebrations abound. But it took some time.
Twitter is great - absolutely - but there are times I come off twitter so depressed and worn down with self doubt that I wonder should I ditch my account... and then someone will post a tweet that has me laughing or better still, thinking. Don't get me wrong - I genuinely love hearing great news from other authors - but depending on my present frame of mind, it can also riddle me with self doubt. So, when I turn on my laptop I can proceed with vigor or hesitation. I like vigor. I prefer vigor. But in those hesitant times it may take me a few pages to find my groove and at times the only thing I can do is re-read the previous day's content. Experience has taught me that either way, it's all progress - it's all process. And, with two published books, one completed MS and a WIP, I must be doing something right...
