Turns out, it took me seven days to write a 6,000 word academic paper. I had two of them, so that was 14 total days I spent on them. 14 agonizing days.
I was finishing the last one yesterday - going over final edits and the like, which is why I missed my usual Monday post. Sorry about that.
So, I'm excited that my summer is finally here! I have goals! The most pressing of which is to finish the book ...
I've spent a year writing some 60,000+ words on The Book of Death in two different workshops and I'm ready to reach the end. Some of what I've written is going to get tossed out - it was good stuff, but it doesn't fit the story as it has evolved beyond what I originally thought it would be. And that's okay. That's what happens with creative endeavors.
I'm sad that I won't be able to use some of what I've written, but I'll put it aside. There may be a future occasion to pull it out and work it into some other project.
Writers, the original recyclers.
Go forth and write!
