On Writing Non-Fiction - 7

On Writing Non-Fiction - 7

Well, it's been a while - since I posted here and for good reason. There hasn't been much writing going on for this book project since 5/23/18. No, my plans to write a bit during the Memorial Day holiday did not material. Great example of how life can get between you and your book project easily enough. Did this time off from the book (to handle other important life issues!) put me back in my publication timeline? Sure did but no matter, I'm not stressed about it. Best to just get right back on track which is what I'm doing this week. Between yesterday and today - I've added another 1400+ words to the book - all on developing chapter 2. So, my focus for the balance of the week will be to flesh out as much of Chapter 2 as I can and keep moving forward - and not looking back at "what could have been". That's the real life of being an author. Persistence wins the day.
