This is the state of the ToC for my current work in progress – as of today, I’m 300 pages in on revising a manuscript that started out around 650pp, and is now just under 600. Just getting to this point has taken about a year, plus another 10 months writing a rough draft back in 2017. I know some writers are able to churn out a new book every year or two, or have multiple creative projects happening constantly, but it’s taken me a long time to accept that will likely never be me. It really frustrates me sometimes (a lot of the time) because I like to think of myself as pretty diligent, but when it comes to creative work (the thing I went to school for, uh, twice?) I’m at the whim of the part of me that doesn’t gaf how I like to think of myself, or how quickly I want to be done. My process feels slow and broken to me, but I do what I can with it, and that’s #writinglife too.
