About a year ago I started an action, adventure story which got a good reception when I put up the first two parts on another site. I've sworn myself to finish it before I have hand surgery on Thursday. Everything is in my head, but I'm so exhausted I won't do it any justice if I push.
As a freelance writer for the past thirteen years, I'm used to deadlines, but this one is self imposed.
I've decided to wait until I can do my best with it. One thing I've learned as a writer, several things; the more you read the better you get, the more you let a story flow, the better it will be, and if you're exhausted it will stink like this huge run on sentence.
Now that that's out of my system, I have laundry to do before the hubby destroys everything I own.

You know, there is software out there that, as you talk, it will type it for you.
Times like these might be good that you had something like this.

Since you're not the first to mention this, another chapter goes up tomorrow. I'll finish, I now have the guilts. My hand does hurt.

Sue, you never want to rush a good thing. If it isn't completed by Thursday, there is always October!

I feel your pain

Had the first concept of mine back in 09 right here on this site. Still writing it. Course I'm writing around free time at work and have an open schedule I've given myself of about 6 years

You'll get there when you get there Sue and it will be worth it

You just need a fresh perspective. Looking at this guy always helps me.
