Well, I ran into a HUGE road bump about Week 2 of writing my novel. I was feeling really off, like I was coming down with something. I know that I ended my tenure with the banking call center, but there was something else. Yep, it was mold allergies. I was knocked flat off my feet for a while. I lost my drive for a long while.
Around the first week of my new job, between any moment I could, I started to write more scenes. My hand cramped so bad after those intense sessions. I wrote about an average of a thousand words per notebook session.
After that, I got a fire lit under me when my mother told me that she knew that I could come from behind and finish in time. Driven by that, plus that feeling of "I can't fail this, I got so far", I decided to go full steam ahead.
So yeah, I finally pulled a comeback that would make LL Cool J want to write a song about it. But none of my mom telling me to knock a man out.
So here's to finishing what I started and here's to a revision/continuation* for that project!
*the novel is not finished, but I chose to stop at 50K+ so I can put it aside and finish some other projects, while I have this fire going.
