Switch's non-progress.
Writing Switch has almost turned into a burden. The character that is narrating it is so complex and I've lost myself in her. It's scary.
The writing process engulfs me. Since the books are first person; I become that person to tell their story. This story is...disturbing in some ways. There was a moment when I was writing, and was taken back, because I realized that the inner dialog was not from the character, it was from me. I struggled with the decision of deleting the couple pages or not. In the end I left them. Even though they shine a light on the internal working of my mind, I felt that it was from the heart, and that is where I was told fiction comes from.
I'm playing tug of war with this story. I want to finish it but I feel torn. The first three were finished when Endlessly was released and I was 1/3 of the way finished with Switch. Now I'm sitting on the sidelines waiting for a reaction from Endlessly. I can't find any reasoning with finishing the story if the first book doesn't make it. If I can't get it off the ground, Legacy will never make it to publishing. Then there is no reason to continue this story if it goes no where but in a folder on my computer to collect dust.
I hope to see something promising. Even if it only pushes me to finish Switch.
