So, I’ve been working on my work in progress for, oh, four years now. It’s embarrassing. I’m the kind of person who understands that you just have to do the work — in my head anyway. But I have had varying success at actually doing the work.
Well, as I mentioned, I decided to do the 30 days of Hustle in February, and to make a goal of writing 500 words a day. I hoped I would be done or close to done with this book by the end of the month.
I did great out of the gate. I had a three day spell where I didn’t write a word. And as of today, 23 days in, I’m still on target to reach my goal.
A nice byproduct of this is that I’ve finally moved into the third act of the book. It feels like a snowball rolling down hill. These are the parts of the story I knew first, the parts that captured my imagination first. They’ve lived the longest, and now they’re happening in the story. It’s fun. I’m really enjoying it.
