Talk about a slowpoke. I've had to rewrite it so many times, but in doing so, I think it's gotten a ton better, and it's taken a course I never expected it would. I have to keep reminding myself that each person has their own pace, though, and it's perfectly alright. Still, it helps to have someone else say it too. Thank you! :)Meaghan Rutherfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17144939103660147492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-34702676502811119662016-10-04T13:04:53.414-05:002016-10-04T13:04:53.414-05:00I entered the contest.

Even in the writing world, that seems to be the way we're trending. And I love writing fast, and some of my best stuff has been born out of days that I've written 10+k so I'm not knocking fast writing. But as the community focuses more and more on writing faster and getting more content "out there," it grows harder for me to feel confident in taking a long time on a book.<br /><br />I could go on forever about this :) But, yes. Stick with your book, and I think you'll be glad you did.Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-39932822123795172972016-10-03T11:16:51.803-05:002016-10-03T11:16:51.803-05:00Yes, I'm a bit nervous about it!

I'm in the third complete rewrite of my novel, a story I started over two years ago, and I've been seriously wondering what's "wrong with me" that it's taking me so long to finish. I was seriously considering quitting the story and starting something else, but this reminded me that it's okay to take a long time on something. Especially if it's something I love and want to make GREAT. Thanks so much for the post.<br /><br />(Also--can't wait to see the results of the contest! :D Thanks so much for doing that too.)Catsi Eceerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332529011525703394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-21265150471413054272016-10-03T09:18:36.688-05:002016-10-03T09:18:36.688-05:00Thanks.
