I’m at peace over this novel now. I have a very specific vision and I have the ability to tell it. While there are a multitude of things that could go wrong, I know in my heart that I’m going to at least get a first draft done very, very soon in real terms.
So, again, anyone who told me to “just write” a few years ago can fucking suck it, you shithead. I’m glad you’re out of my life.
Because writing and developing this novel is a marathon, not a sprint, I’m occasionally taking little breaks so I can reflect and do a lot of reading. I’m quite pleased that I finally have figured out how to tell a version of this huge story I came up with a few years ago.
It’s still very possible someone will steal a march on me creatively for various reasons, but it’s out of my hands at this point. I just have to focus on my own vision and see what happens.
