I have never written "The End" on anything longer than 8 pages. Ever.
I've written over 80,000 words on an LDS Women's fiction novel, and over 50,000 words on a Young Adult fantasy, but I can't seem to get to "The End!!" I'm so frustrated with myself.
This weekend at the LDS Storymakers Conference has been an amazing experience. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to go again or not because I went the past two years and wasn't sure if I would get much more out of it than I did before, but I'm so glad I went! Not only did I learn new things, but I got a major recharge of inspiration and motivation.
I'm going to make a goal, right here and right now. Are you ready for this, world? Here it is. By the end of May, I'm going to write "The End" on both of my books.
*gasp*
Did I just say that out loud?
Okay, now that I've gone that far, I'm going to go another step further. I'm going to submit the first 3 chapters of my LDS novel to at least 3 LDS publishers and I'm going to submit the first 3 chapters of my YA novel to at least 3 national agents and/or editors.
Ready or not, here I come!!!
You can do it!! The ending is the hardest part - or is it the beginning? Maybe the middle. Just kidding...
ReplyDeleteGood luck writing and with your May goal.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to the club. I actually haven't written anything past Chapter Four on any of my fiction novels. They keeps winning prizes, so you'd think I'd finish them, right? My excuse: I'm spending my time working on a non-fiction series. So right now, fiction is my "change of pace" work.
I love your goals. You go girl! I know you can totally do it!
