Or, at least it seems like my manuscript has gone AWOL. I had some personal issues that postponed it, and then so did my beta reader. I've gotten through stage one edits, and that's about it. I know which chapters I need to work on just to get the word count correct, but then I can't make myself go do them. It's sad.
To keep my mind off my inability to finish that book, I've been transcribing a different manuscript. It's called Nomycha, and doesn't need any major plot fixes...that I can see. It's fantasy romance, and I'd forgotten how close I'd come to the end when I had paused it last year.
That's kinda where I stand with my fiction, currently. I've been a little more focused on the unemployment and freelance nonfiction in the last couple weeks, so have been holding back on the fiction. A shame.

You gotta do what you gotta do. It's great to be able to write fiction but I understand if you also have to find a way to pay the bills. Don't be ashamed of not writing fiction or finishing a project when you are doing other things to survive. Your writing will still be just as good later, and your readers will wait as well. Best of luck to you.
ReplyDeleteThis sucks! :-/ I miss you! I'm glad to see you have stuff you are working on. Hope you don't mind my occasional lurk.
