Some people have been asking for an update on Break Me, so I figured I'd post one. Here's the deal: I'm terrified. I'm absolutely terrified.
I've been looking at it and reading what I have, and you know, I don't think I'm as far as I thought I was. In fact, I know I'm not as far as I thought I was. I'm questioning right now as to if I'm even half-way done with it. Which is scary, because I thought I was nearly finished. And I know now that I'm not. My characters won't let me be. They have more story to be told. I have a really rough outline of a scene that I want to happen, but the issue right now is writing it out.
I'm scared I won't make my deadline.
I can't figure out what to write. Nothing I write down sounds right. It doesn't fit right with what I have. I'm so stuck. And that scares me because the more I can't get down, the closer I get to not making my deadline.
I'm scared, terrified, that people won't like what I write. I don't have thick skin. I don't take criticism well. I need to be liked, you know what I mean? And I'm so so so scared that people won't like what I write.
Finals are next week. And then I'm home for 5 weeks after that. I'm going to (hopefully) spend a lot of my time during those 5 weeks writing. I can't stress over it right now, not with finals coming. Yes, I'd love to have my writing published, but first and foremost, I'm a college student. School has to come first. But after finals again, I'll be writing again.
Not much of an update, I know. Hopefully I'll be able to tell you guys something better in a few weeks or so.
