Today’s celebration

When some days feel like total failures, I find it’s important to celebrate my wins.

I was able to take time out to write in ManiProphy today. I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked, but when I looked, I realized that I’m over 40% done with the story.

Before I started writing, I spent months fine tuning the outline with a developmental editor. This is a complete rewrite of a previously written story, so I knew the major beats. However, I felt like I was too close to the story to see its issues.

Writing with the outline has been such a boon to my writing speed. Since I created such a detailed outline, I have all the scenes in my head and it’s just a matter of getting the words down.

I hope you’ll join me in celebrating today’s win.

Next milestone is 50% for this story!
