Spent another two hours today on editing.  I find that my need for perfection keeps me focusing on a sentence and not able to leave it until it feels right.  I have made a deal with myself that as I finish a page I will move on and not go back and re-read it or I will never finish this chapter.#doitregardless

I have been sitting at the computer for the last five hours on and off and after a very slow start this morning.   I finally feel that I am moving forward.  I get distracted so easily and it is as if I deliberately look for things to distract me.  I need patience as sometimes I sit for half an hour mulling over the construction of one sentence as it doesn’t quite convey what I want it to.  At this rate I will be old and grey before I finish this book.  But onwards and upwards.  Till tomorrow when we meet again.#doitregardless

Yesterday I sat at my computer from 12.15pm until 6pm last night reworking chapter 14.  I would love to say it was uninterrupted but it wasn’t.  There were tradesman here doing various things but I did manage to spend some time although not quality time doing what I love.  I am hoping for a more successful day today.  I have certainly learnt that if I ever wait until the time is right it never will be as life can have its own agenda.#doitregardless

On Friday I did about three hours in total re-working chapter 14 which was wonderful.  This weekend I have not done anything on my writing but have spent the time with family and my grand daughter.  Gearing up for a very productive week as it needs to be to get somewhere near the deadline that I set myself.  Until tomorrow it is bye for now.

Yesterday I wrote on my Blog, posted another snippet to my Facebook page and did one tweet.  Again I did not spend the time on my book that I had allocated but I did manage one hour in the morning re-writing or editing Chapter 14.  Today is a new day and I am just about to make a cup of tea and disappear for a couple of hours to continue where I left off.  Really need to ask myself the question ‘Am I being truly honest or am I using every other reason as an excuse  to not get to this project?’  I am my own worst enemy.  FEAR can stop me from doing the very thing I am so passionate about.  The fear of failure or the fear of success…..what if I am not good enough and my writing sucks and my story is not worth publishing or even worse I lose my family in the process because I have done the very thing that validates who I am as a person.  Their fear  keeps my family from giving the support I crave.  My book is about me and my journey and is not being written to hurt anyone.  My truth is my reality and I CAN’T and WON’T change that.  Here is to a more productive day…..#doitregardless

All I managed yesterday was to update my blog, put another snippet on my Facebook page and to do two tweets.  Not quite what I was hoping to get done but at least it is focusing my attention on my book.  Today I am ready to take action but my writing space has been invaded by the plumber and the underfloor heating guys.  I am easily distracted and can do that myself without having others encroaching on my personal space.  Here’s hoping for a productive day!#doitregardless

Well here I am nearly two months after writing my last blog and not much has happened on the Writing front. Mind you I was away on holiday for five and a half weeks and since getting home I have been catching up on the things that have needed my attention. Now it is time to focus on ME and one of the things I am most passionate about. I am confined to home for the next two weeks due to a medical procedure on my Achilles and there is no excuse to not complete the edit on Chapter 14. My goal is to have the final draft finished by the 16th of September. To keep it real I am going to update my blog daily as a way to keep me on track. So until tomorrow….it is goodbye for now.#doitregardless
