I could kill my book

There comes a time in the book creating a stage where you look at your manuscript and say ‘write yourself already.’ At least there was for me. I have always loved writing and found it easy to do however sitting down to a self-imposed time guideline changes the way you write, it brings about urgency, extreme desires to finish, a hypersensitivity to perfection, and an increased inability to to be patient. You know you can change the end date but you simply don’t want to, finishing your book later would mean a more drawn-out process of late writing nights, imagining the need for punctuation marks in places 77 times before actually deciding you’ll place them there and looking at your food and getting angry at it for not cooking itself. Don’t get me wrong, writing a book is fun, the moment you complete is euphoric but boy does the journey test your mindset.
