I love you guys, but I don’t think this is what I need to be doing right now. How can I delete my profile?

It’s going to take a lot of writing today and tomorrow, but I think I can make it. πŸ™‚

That’s something I believe I struggle with – keeping my characters consistent and knowing how they would react to things so that it doesn’t seem random or out of place. If you don’t know your characters, you can’t make their emotion believable.

When his uncle took him under his care, Will was mostly left to himself to deal with the pain and heal from it. Because of that, he now thinks that he must deal with pain on his own. He’s been taught not to bother people with his…[Read more]

After his father was thought to be killed in action and his mother and unborn sister died, he was left to heal himself as an eight year old. He wants to be strong enough to do what needs to be done without anyone else’s help. When someone brings up his pain, he changes the subject immediately. He is…[Read more]

It’s a busy week for me, so that will probably be hard enough. πŸ™‚ Also, enjoy writing. I don’t want to think of it as something that has to get done, but of something I love to do.

Consistency is something I struggle with, but I’ve had a mentor encouraging me and holding me accountable, so that’s helped a lot.

8 or 9 chapters isn’t bad – plus, it’s a new week. We get to start over again πŸ˜‰

I haven’t posted in about a month and a half, but other than that, I’m usually pretty consistent. And I’m looking to get started again in the next couple weeks.
