Pushing through Chapter Seven with some inspiring words
This chapter is taking me a few days longer than I had planned. It is strange because I have already mapped it out and done a draft by hand, which is usually the magic combination for writing productivity. Perhaps I am stressed over something outside of the book. Perhaps I am feeling nervous since I am now on the downward slope, having passed the halfway mark in the last chapter. After this chapter, everything is action packed and should flow out of my fingertips and onto the page like water. This chapter, in the meantime, has proved to be a little challenging.
To meet the challenge, I have come to rely on this list:
It has been our desktop wallpaper for months. There is always one line that stands out when I glance at it, that is just right for my needs at that moment. And last night, I came across this, by my nerd crush Ira Glass:
The main thing I need to do right now is push past this. I have set a deadline that I will, for once in my life, respect. Tomorrow is a holiday so tonight I will not sleep but two hours and tomorrow I will write for a least eight hours, plus the hours I put in after the kids' bedtime. I am determined that I will accomplish #33.
So, here is what I got so far. As always, any feedback in the comments is most welcome. Thank you for reading!

Chapters Three and Four
Timeless A Novel- Chapter Three and Chapter Four
I made it to the halfway point in my word count goal this morning. It took a lot longer than I anticipated but I guess that was another rookie mistake. I still plan to have this book finished by November and up on Amazon before Thanksgiving. Crazy perhaps but constant sanity hasn't helped me finish a book. And again any feedback or editorial assistance you'd like to offer is very welcome. Thanks for reading!
