Mid Month Pep Talk

Dear Georgia,

Come on man, take a good hard look at your word count right now. You could be doing so much more. Stop whining and get on with it. Sure it isn't quality, but you really should just get the story down.

These characters have been sitting in your hard drive since you were sixteen and now you've given them a little airing, you owe it to your characters to finish their story. You've never finished a piece of fiction that is longer than about 5000 words. That is an atrocious record.

Once it was your ambition to be an author. The teenage urge to write beautifully and be told that you aren't a bad writer and have half of an imagination in your noggin is still in you somewhere. So dig deep and pull out that fighting spirit.

On the other hand. LOOK how far you've come! You've written more this month than you have in your whole life. Your focus is awesome. Don't do it now...but look forward to December because you are about to have SO much fun editing this.

You can still finish this.

You can win.
