It’s been a rough few weeks. Thank goodness for my B2W group!

The Born to Write Community Facebook group (B2W) has inspired me, kept me going, and become a great support on my new journey into non-fiction. I started this journey with an idea that wouldn’t leave me alone. While I write YA SF usually, this idea of writing a book to encourage others to also write kept niggling at the back of my brain.

Now that I’m into it about a third of the way through, the doubts and imposter syndrome is kicking in. Kicking in hard! I’m at that point where I want to give up. After all I’ve got two new YA SF space opera novels waiting for me to start them. And of course there’s the Lupus flare that is also kicking me down.

But I won’t quit. How can I when this is exactly the point in writing a book this always happens to me, AND this is exactly what I’m writing about in my non-fic book. The universe is laughing loudly at the irony.

So, I will push through this week to get the draft done. It needs to get out of me, it needs to be on paper. Then I can edit it into some sort of sweet awesomeness.

Thank you B2W community and especially Azul Terronez and my accountability partners.

Now back to writing!!
