The Second Chapter - Writer's Block · 3:30pm May 1st, 2012
I've always said that I can tell when I'm challenging myself to something really important in my life - it's when I'm feeling terrified. That's how I feel about this story. I know with my intellect that there's nothing to be scared of - it's just that I've tried and failed in the past to write anything longer than a poem. The response to my first chapter was encouraging and kind, thank you. I've had trouble with the next chapter, it was seeming forced and wouldn't flow. As of this morning I seem to be slowly back on track. Unlike my Mate, Chatoyance, I don't have entire chapters come spilling out, I'm lucky if I can manage a paragraph or two before the inspiration fades. But be assured, that I have promised to write a little every day (or at least to stare blankly at the edit page, and try). I have committed myself to this story and have promised both myself and others that I will see it to the end. Hang in there with me, and my gratitude for your patience.
Take as much time as you need
The story will come out when it's ready to, and not any sooner
