Free comic book day!

You will burn out. I was totally done six chapters till the end. Power through just to finish it.

You can plan for everything, have you entire storyline and character arcs set the way you want it until you’re halfway through and realize nothing works where it is.

Your first draft is going to be horrible. Hor-ri-ble. HORRIBLE.

And that’s fine. Let it be horrible. Neil Gaiman said no one cares about your first draft and he’s right.

Expect your brain to get very foggy when on your on the home stretch. I actually forgot I pre-ordered a book for someone’s Christmas gift and then stood there while they bought the exact book in the store. I now own the pre-ordered copy.

But keep remembering this:

You did it. You wrote a book. You survived writing that book. A horrible, badly-written, unintelligible mess of a book, but a book.

Now let’s do it again.
