Happy New Year everyone!
Quick one--
I am still writing. Won't ever stop writing. Will not stop writing. Will continue to write until I'm buried in the ground.
With that said, I've stopped listening to some writing podcasts that I frequently listen to. Whenever I listen to those podcasts, I feel pressured to finish my novels as quick as possible. The ones I frequent usually has this mantra: the faster you write, the more books you'll have; the more books you have, the more likely you'll get a purchase.
So they say.
Personally, I don't want to write fast. I like to take a trip through my imagination, taking in the scene and experiencing what my characters are going through. But I don't want to write slow either. There are more stories in this noggin of mine, and I want to breathe life to them.
I'm at ~95% on this second novel, and it's dragging. I feel that my subconscious is telling me to slow down because the next venture seems scary. I plan on writing a new novel, and with every new novel, it's uncharted territory.
As far as my copywork exercises, I will put those on hold until I get into the groove of things again. The winter weather just crapped on my lunch time routines (can't copy some great works when it's twenty degrees outside!).
Brrr...
