Writing Makes Me Feel...

So a lot of the time, writing makes me feel like this:



But then when I'm finished, it makes me feel like this:



And then when I get emails and messages from readers saying how much they love the stories I've written, that makes me feel like this:



And that makes it worth it when I'm slogging through those initial drafts. Ugh, the drafts. Rough does not begin to describe it.

So yeah, I am still in the trenches with this book, and it feels very hhhnnnngggg at the moment, but we're making progress here. I have a lot of other crap going on in my life with some other things, and that's slowing me down. I still hope to have a cover to reveal very soon!!

  1. Sorry to hear you're having a hard time of it, but I can see how much effort you put into your novels and I am sure the next one is going to turn out great

  2. Hang in there and take all the time you need. The books I've read so far are great, and greatness can't be rushed! Also, feel free to draw more doodles if that makes the writing process easier. :-)

  3. Hey Kate. I go through a very similar cycle with my book progress. It can be difficult sometimes to find the inspiration, even when you really WANT to get past the point you are at. Hang in there and remember it gets better.
