While the idea for it and some very bare scenes were laid out way back in June, I've been suffering from a bit of creative paralysis since summer came to an end... which only made me grow more and panicked as time went by. I just continued writing the story a few days ago and I believe that my motivation has finally returned! Now the challenge will be pushing through all the voices in my head that tell me to quit. I have quite a lot of work to do by December 31... c:Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469187528561610695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815415883815094859.post-80308891080507428512015-11-02T13:37:50.566-08:002015-11-02T13:37:50.566-08:00Lol, Ana, you make me laugh because...yes! Why do...Lol, Ana, you make me laugh because...yes! Why do you think I wrote this post? It's because I'm panicking just a little bit, too. Deep breath. We can do this, right?<br />And yes, the big obstacle with SPINDLE (whatever it was) melted. Now I'm faced with edits and such, which are challenging enough in their own way. But it's going to be good.Esther Brooksmith (wisdomcreates)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15010043354045249021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815415883815094859.post-68613061625201671922015-11-02T13:35:51.830-08:002015-11-02T13:35:51.830-08:00Wow, you are on a roll, Skye!

Hahaha. *laughs nervously until December 31st.* I am currently going through the "Oh, no, this is a mess," challenge, and I am panicking just a little. But hey, I still have time, right? It's not like I have to finish/edit a whole novel in two weeks. Just 20,000 words. Yup. *tries to calm self down* <br /><br />On another note, I'm glad to hear you cleared up those issues you had with SPINDLE!

I have already sent in my permission form, and since I'm from Canada I get to email it, so there is less pressure there. I have several people reading it, but I would love to read yours if your interested in reading mine. I love reading other people's entries. :DSkye Hofferthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02385765274513034927noreply@blogger.com
