Setbacks

It is hard when you hit your first setback, or your second.  It is even hard when you hit your third setback.   I cannot pretend to comprehend what setback I am on at this point.  I thought I couldn't write 50,000 words, I knew for sure I couldn't do it in a month.  I thought I would never come up with an idea for a second, or a third novel.  I thought I would not be able to edit, or add enough to make a novel that was actually readable.  Guess what?  I am doing it one step at a time.

My current setback:  Lack of motivation.  I admit it, I had an off week.  I wanted to clean my house,and spend time with my kids.  There was no draw to the computer calling me to the characters that I alone have created.  I didn't have ideas running through my head of new scenes to add, or insightful ideas.  I felt tired, drained, and literally exhausted.

The good news is I have vowed to once again get back on the editing wagon, and get this done so I can be ready to start my second novel in November!
