July 7, 2014
I went missing since late May. I want to be spending my time writing, but I have consulting clients that need care and feeding. In June, clients called wanting help, and I had to put in over eight hours a day to take care of them. That has not let up until recently.
In the midst of the turmoil, a month went by where I didn’t work a minute on my current novel. This was a disaster. When I forced myself to eke out time for my writing, I discovered I had lost a feeling for my characters, and their story arcs. The lesson I learned here is once I start a project, I have to stay with it, or suffer the consequences.
Nonetheless, I worked through this and completed my first draft. My next step is to set it aside for a week, then read through it to decide what is next.
