Looking Ahead
Hi,
Yesterday was a hard day... a hard writing day. I opened the 3rd book - a work-in-progress and began to read. I started writing the story in 2008 and picked it up earlier this year and then dropped it again.
The initial draft isn't even complete... only half-way through. Which means I have another milestone ahead to complete the original story and give myself a first draft.
I know this is not going to be easy. If anything it's going to take an inner tug-of-war to sort this out. When I read what's written I want to correct/edit. And I don't move forward. When I edit I lose time because I'm not moving forward. But, for some reason, I can't go ahead unless I correct the page.
What should I do?
