We Will Meet Many More Times in the Sequel
8 years ago
As of right now, my goal is to finish with this latest addition of Under the Shadow of Your Horns. To be honest, I feel disappointed in myself. It's taken me far too long to finish it. It's not really so much of an obligation. All things considered, I want to get it done for the simple fact that I love these characters and want to tell their story. I guess long hours at work and other key factors have made it hard to get everything I want to happen come in fruition.
I'm almost where I'd like to be, but there's still so much that requires more self-discipline. For months I've found it hard to focus whenever I have found time to write. So many things vied for my interest in any given moment. I'm trying so very hard to finish it. The entire piece contains over 50K words in total, and the rough draft of this newest chapter now stands at 5K. I'm so very close to reaching my goal. That finish line is still in sight. I know it's more of a passion project, but if I'm able to complete it, then I'll have the confidence to move along with other projects. If this draft does inevitably exceed 10K, I will wrap it up.
I need to put myself out their here and elsewhere, too. I've struggled with that for the longest time. My natural introversion has often made it hard for me to venture outside my comfort zone. Yet real growth only comes from moving beyond it. More than anything, I need to move and keep at it. It's just not possible to go anywhere if I don't make those first steps in any direction.
I don't want to waste more words on this issue. It's time to put up or shut up. The next time you hear from me through a journal is when I've finished.
As always, I deeply appreciate anyone who has ever read my work. I deeply appreciate it. More than you know.
