Second Book Update!!!
Alrighty folks. I just wanted to drop in and give a quick update on the progress of my second book. I'm currently in the process of writing the last few chapters that I had planned and everything is coming together really nicely, I think.
A few weeks ago, I was really struggling with my motivation. I just could not for the life of me find the will to want to write. And even when I did manage to get myself writing, I was questioning everything I was doing, and it just wasn't coming out very smoothly or naturally to me. Writing became sort of an uphill battle for a while.
Now, I have managed to get back into to the groove, but unfortunately, I have gotten a bit behind. Initially, my plan was to have it ready for publishing by the end of the year, but with the holidays fast approaching, I'm having doubts. And given that my first novel - drown - had a decade to stew, I don't want to rush this one. I don't want to put out a product that I'm not satisfied with simply to meet a deadline, and being an independent author, I'm fortunately in a position where I don't have to.
That being said, I am working on it. The second book is coming. I don't want to set another date for it until I'm closer to publishing, but just know, it is on it's way.
