I'm deep in novel writing and swing from one extreme to the other, it feels, every day! Is this a pile of crap or is it not? I didn't have this uncertainty with my first book but trying really hard to lean into it as part of the process. Will the book 'make it' to completed manuscript? Who knows. Whether it does or it doesn't, though, I'll have learned so much about myself as a writer in doing it.
I think of half-formed work on ideas that don't pan out as "priming the pump." The good stuff will come. Just gotta keep writing.
Great way to look at it
Is it fiction or non-fiction that you are working on? X
The next thing is fiction! Just wrapping up the non-fiction that’s coming out next year and really fancy focusing on fiction over the winter

It’s so scary isn’t it? I wish there was more certainty in the process but here we are.....
So true. No work is wasted as it’s always helping to move things forward. 🧡 love the scratching chicken 🐓 comparison! That’s me 😆
The book is fab - highly recommend it
