The pacing is fine for me. I estimate that the book will be finished by May or June. After that I have to at least try sending this out to agents or publishers, just to get my feet wet, while writing my next book. I find that would be a challenge since I'm already having that trouble with my short stories in circulation. I love writing, but I hate the administrative aspect of it: the sending out and the waiting. I think I need to discipline myself to succeed in this. At least now I don't feel angry or depressed when I receive rejections (well, a little bit, but it passes in a sec).
Baby steps. Or as what Anne Lamott said, "Bird by bird."
The
3rd draft is in progress. No hiccups so far. I've been working two
hours a day, consistently hammering out about 1,200 words. I thought of
increasing my word count by adding another hour or a half, but I decided
against it because for fear of burning out. I don't want to burn out.
Like a drug addict, I shouldn't OD.
