I'm tryin' to finish my damn book. I need encouragement. |
|
I'm writing a book. I've been writing since November.
I have to show the book to an editor and an agent at the end of the month. It's a contemporary romance.
I am freaking out. :scared:

1. Ooh, hurry up and write it! |
|
I wanna read it!! :bounce: *grin*
Did that help?
:hug: I can imagine the nerves are really tough. Do you have some people to give you feedback before you have to present it?

My husband comes in here every day. "Is it done yet? Is it done yet?" :spank: I know he's trying to help, but I would like to smack him.
The nerves are really, really tough. Two people have read half the manuscript. The reviews have been very good, and I was touched.
I'm frantically working to finish the other half. Julie

3. You have plenty of time. |
|
Lose any distractions for the time being. Now, get to work. This is important. Discipline yourself. Make time for physical activity. You can do this, for sure.
Good luck.

5. That's a beautiful thing. |
|
Writing the synopsis will force you to fill in the blanks with the long version. Think plot twist and unpredictability, if that is called for. :)

6. Take a deep breath... close your eyes... |
|
and think of where your characters finish their tale. Then fill in the rest. :)
Good luck.
