Set your sights where you want to be. I hit my word count goal this week! š I would say I finished the novel, but thereās still one chapter Iām thinking about adding in before itās ādone.ā Yes, done belongs in quotes. Anyone who writes knows something is never really done. Anyone who has walked this path before, whether for yourself or with someone else, knows there will be many more rounds of editing. There will be adjustments made from critique groups, adjustments made from editors and publishers, and up until it is bound and printed and sitting in my hands, I donāt know if I will ever fully believe these books are done. But for now Iām going to continue on to the next step. Iām going to write the book proposal and then go back and maybe add in that chapter. And then, after all of that is done, Iāll probably take myself out for ice cream or a milkshake or something to celebrate. I want to be one of the greats. So Iām keeping my eyes up where they are. Maybe itās too bold. Maybe itās too ambitious. I donāt really care if itās too anything, though. Thatās where Iām aiming, and I intend to get there. #writingjourney #nextsteps #oneofthegreats #keepyoureyesonyourtarget #writermotivation #authorsofinstagramš https://www.instagram.com/p/B8g4U9oge3I/?igshid=a7ezhrtv7mne
