This a creative way to share your wisdom. I am working through my novel edit. I am looking forward to what I can discern and apply from your journey.

Glad you think so! Oh, good luck, I hope it goes well! I'm low key dreading mine final pass, but I'll share what I do exactly once I get some beta reader feedback🤞

I've set a deadline for myself that I'm already falling behind on. I probably should take a break. I've compromised by writing fewer words each day. That has helped some.

As they say on Kilimanjaro, "Pole, pole" or "Slowly, slowly" gets you there. Good luck!

Thank you, Jim for the kind words!

As I'm sure you know, only too well, Book 1 is only the beginning.

So true. I'm deep into the first draft of book 3 now, and it has been a real struggle, not to find the words, but to find the discipline to keep going no matter what.

That must be so frustrating so close to the end. Are you able to take a break?

I took a solid break this December to refill the take, and it helped me realize I was burnout and didn't even know it. It took my wife and I four days on holiday to realize just how tired we were. 🤦‍♂️

But then again you're nearing the end of a marathon. It's so tough to know when to push through and when to take a breather so you can come back refreshed.
