It's not easy AT ALL!!

I now have so much more respect for authors who write awesome books, because the process can slaughter you. My migraines kept me away from my goal, but I was happy with what I did write, and I wrote my scenes out of order as well. I think it is important to get your words out before you lose them.Lyn Kayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471867801089862828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-21638260873005019162015-12-19T03:18:40.353+01:002015-12-19T03:18:40.353+01:00Thank you so much Vlora!

It sounds like you had a lot going on during the month of November. And you have kids too. Believe me, it is a lot easier to find time to write when you don't have kids. I do have a dog, but she requires minimal supervision. So I admire the hell out of you for getting as much done as you did. Congratulations for surviving and for all the work you did get done!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050447428759378366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-9786385261848964202015-12-19T03:15:16.439+01:002015-12-19T03:15:16.439+01:00Thanks so much Breana!Thanks so much Breana!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050447428759378366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-50438626347229100022015-12-19T03:15:07.033+01:002015-12-19T03:15:07.033+01:00Thanks Cheryl!

I hope you had fun and feel sufficiently accomplished.

I started to really get pissed at my character by the end. And realized that I might want to change like, HUGE stuff. And seriously, HOW do authors do it? HOW? I basically feel bad for every negative review I have ever written. <br /><br />And seriously, WHO picked November for this!? First, there are only 30 days! Give me a chance here, pick a 31 month! And then Thanksgiving, and I mean, Mockingjay... then Val came and my aunt died, and I tell you I don't know HOW I made it. <br /><br />But wow... 85% is done!? THAT IS AMAZING! Like, I am so excited for you! I can't even imagine! I am probably half done, maybe a little more. And then I will probably have to cut crap. But I want to stomp on my character too so... she and I are parting ways until the new year ;) ALSO I want to change her name, but can you imagine what a pain that would be? Hahha. <br /><br />CONGRATULATIONS! I am so, so happy for yoU!! <3 <br />Shannon @ <a href="http://itstartsatmidnight.com" rel="nofollow"> It Starts At Midnight </a>Shannon @ It Starts at Midnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043593641190645773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-78384774035526618282015-12-07T22:16:22.343+01:002015-12-07T22:16:22.343+01:00Congrats on getting to your goal!Congrats on getting to your goal!Breana M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10345983166905397230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-72440762896140314192015-12-07T14:47:16.081+01:002015-12-07T14:47:16.081+01:00Congratulations.
