I know it's all coming out forced and stilted and I am not bowled over enough to get to the end and then revise. Hopefully the newest idea is a winner.

There's only one time I pushed past that and didn't finish writing/polishing the book. So, if I think I story really needs to be told, I force myself to make it passed chapter 8. It's worked well so far. Get out what I want on an idea, but feel I can through it if needed, or actually make myself finish things.janealfalorhttp://janealfalor.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282612866471682237.post-19331262138216800592012-08-21T10:46:29.957-06:002012-08-21T10:46:29.957-06:00I have actually, for me it was I didn't feel I...I have actually, for me it was I didn't feel I was doing the story justice and wanted give it time to marinate before I went back to it.Brandon Axhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09027731412064014586noreply@blogger.com
