I hit page 200 in my manuscript. Of course, the chapter I'm writing now is more like a stream of consciousness and needs a ton of work. Earlier, the whole chapter made perfect sense when I was on the elliptical at the gym and now I'm having a hell of a time getting it on paper. It is such a struggle to make this happen.
Do you like my blog transformation? I think it's easier on the eyes to have a more neutral blog. That was another thing I did while I was in procrastination mode.
I'm feeling very angry and stressed right now. I wanted to have more accomplished by now, like the entire story so that I could just work on editing. I have at least six more chapters to write.
I honestly don't know how people do this for a living. It's so much sitting in one place. They must have bursts of energy where they write a lot in a short period of time and are able to separate it from the rest of their lives. I am not that type of personality. I was trying to have a conversation today and I kept losing focus on what the other person was saying and even drifted off with what I was saying because I was trying to hear the ideas for the book that were in my head too. Everything is a fucking distraction. Am I going to end up with Alzheimer's? How do you get that?
People all around me are getting one sickness or another. Everyone's got some kind of problem. Mine is that I am never going to finish the book if I don't get back to work.

Hi Mia,
ReplyDeleteI didn't know if you would see this, but I posted the comment below on Love Romance Cafe tonight, so I thought I'd find a place to post it here on your Blog.
PLEASE don't give up, I REALLY enjoy your writing & it would be a shame for other Readers not to see just how good a Author you are! :)
"Hi Mia & Fellow Love Romancce Cafe Readers,
I found this Great Author through a Yahoo Group Post a few months back & I am soooo glad I did!!! I have really enjoyed every Book I read of hers & I know if you read Mia's Books, you will Love them as well. Below are Mia's Books I have read so far & I can HIGHLY Recommend ALL of them!!!!
“Cinderella Club”
“Cinderella Thyme”
“A Ghost's Chance”
“Putting the Madge in Danna”
& I can’t wait until she releases the last Book in her Trilogy, “Cinderella Ending”
The only 2 Books of Mia’s I have not read yet are “Dr. Cockburn's Medicine” & “Jude's Whore”…& that is because I knew my computer was just about hanging on & didn’t want to download any new Books, needless to say, my computer did crash & I lost a ton of files. :(
But I vividly remember reading ALL of Mia’s Books I listed & they were FANTASTIC!!! Mia Natasha may be a new Author to the Group, but I have posted many, many times....pick up one of her Books & read it, I promise, you won’t be disappointed & you’ll be back to buy all her remaining Books.
Take Care Everyone & Stay Naughty,
