I am proud to say that I have made some progress with my writing. I have written and outline, met with a writing coach and I have a plan. Will I publish it and retire? Well...that may be the dream but I'm not really thinking it's a reality. But I want to focus on just finishing the book...I want to be proud that I achieved this goal.
I know that I need to set some goals and follow through. While there is no set deadline, if I don't give myself a deadline...I'll never get done. I can procrastinate with the best of them.
My writing coach the other day asked me the dreaded question the other day..."why do you want to write a book"? Every answer I gave just resulted in the follow up question of "why"? And the truth is...I am struggling to answer this question. I'm actually not sure why I want to write it. I mean - I think I have something to say and it's a goal that I have always wanted to achieve. But I am still struggling for the real "why". Dave explained that knowing the why can help keep you motivated to continue...and I totally agree with that. I just need to figure out my "why"...
