Writing is not always as cut and dry as following a schedule. I have been speeding through the second half of this novel at the rate of a chapter a day and today I hit a huge roadblock. I believe I’ll finish the chapter tomorrow but that already puts me behind. The trick is to avoid staying behind. I gotta find a way to catch up and get back on pace to finish by next week.
Yep, next week.
I have a kid graduating next week, I expect to finish the novel next week. It is a huge week in the making. So now I am on the grind of trying to appreciate the journey and the moment of all of these happenings. Life is good if difficult and through it all we make wonderful memories that last in the minds of those we love long after we are gone.
Oh, also sometimes we write decent novels.
Some Thoughts:
- Basketball is kind of fun again. I watched the Warriors lose and despite wanting them to win it was a fun game till the end. At last check the Celtics were ahead of the Nets, and my dislike of that Brooklyn squad has me wanting it to stay that way.
- This AZ Irish youth football team is starting to come together, at least on the social media side. Looking forward to seeing what it actually looks like come fall.
