It's Done

Without further a due, it is done. I did it, it's out, my second book is out everybody!!! Ironically, I've had the thing done with over six months ago but I guess there's always a fear for any writer the book will never be good enough. Or that it didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it too.  If anyone wonders now, yes, there is a third and I've started it. I've barely written any of it, but I know the whole outline, it's sorted out, so at least that's a start.
To be honest, I'm just hoping this blogging thing keeps me steady. I've got a problem with rushing through things (like one time i wrote 9,000 words in one day) and then I won't get back to it again for like a week. So now maybe trying to blog every day of what I've done for my book will help keep me steady like water and not erratic like an avalanche.
But the point is I keep No Promises. I know myself a bit better now, I've already made this promise in the past and it obviously didn't take. So I'm being honest with any readers and to myself, I guarantee no promises but that I'll try.
There will be unperfect unsuccessful days where I might only write 50 words or no words at all, but the story will be alive, ticking away in my head, waiting to be written and read. I guess that's why despite my periods of absences (so sorry, the past year has been filled with many bumps not just for me but also my family), I just can't give writing up. Because even if I'm not writing out that standard 2,000 or so words a day onto paper or on microsoft word, the story line's still in my head begging to be released.
I just can't give writing up. I don't think I can ever stop giving it a shot. It's in my blood (Literally, I'm related to some very famous authors and even though I've never met them, this mere fact gives me motivation).
And some day, mark these words, I'm going to be out and about someday, and I'll see some random stranger reading my book.
And thus the journey begins.... Again. Or rather, I'm coming back from my break.
I'm going to try and be better this time. Get this book out sooner, stick with a designated writing plan so I stay on task and schedule.
Hoping myself best of luck and wishes anyways, I'm signing off for the night, because tomorrow (or technically today since it's three in the morning) is a new day. Because that third book (and many more)  is waiting for me.
And just maybe you're waiting for it too.
