FOR ALL YOU WRITERS OUT THERE

“When I face the desolate impossibility
of writing 500 pages,
a sick sense of failure falls on me,
and I know I can never do it.
Then gradually,
I write one page and then another.
One day’s work is all
that I can permit myself to contemplate.”

-John Steinbeck-

In a 'stall' on two chapters.
This is week #3 and I'm sludging through each page, hoping the incredible lightness will return and all me to find the FUN.
Chapter 2 = 17 pages written
Chapter 3 = 19 pages written
I'm wearing out the blades on the paper shredder!
