So as work gets busy, I’m finding it more difficult to keep up with the schedule and pace I’d originally established writing the novel. I’ve found it difficult to get my mind around the material at 10pm, which is when I’ve been seeing most of my available downtime. I worry about what the situation will do to my momentum. Nonetheless, I’m determined to make it work. I keep the passion up and push through on the project whenever I can. For me, it’s a battlefield, and I will be victorious.

Progress is being made. I’ve knocked a considerable amount off of my edit needs and keep pushing through them and deepening the story and characters. God, I love this craft.
