I've already written more here than I have on my own manuscript today. . .thank you for the inspiration. I'm going to go start writing. Now. Bye. I'm going. Really. I'm gone. Seriously.

I'm one of those who, no matter how many goals I set, I always miss them, but I somehow manage to squeak it out in the end when the drop-dead moment arrives.

So think about what made you want to write this story in the first place and recapture that spark. Sometimes it helps me to change something in the story, add an exciting element and that gets me all revved up.Anita Clenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121439834252671730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12323728.post-67836231910203061172010-05-27T18:16:31.668-05:002010-05-27T18:16:31.668-05:00You can do it, Lexi!

At the end of each writing day (session?) make a few notes for yourself for where you will pick up in the morning (or next session). <br /><br />Reward yourself for work done.<br /><br />When you need to get up and take a break, move around, do a few simple chores and go back to writing.<br /><br />If all else fails, 15 minutes writing, 5 minute break, over and over can make a huge difference. The pages do add up plus at some point you may go into the zone without even realizing it.<br /><br />Go Lexi!!!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558483137420104881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12323728.post-38679240242631828442010-05-27T18:14:46.365-05:002010-05-27T18:14:46.365-05:00Your frustration is what is keeping you from finis...Your frustration is what is keeping you from finishing. Relax, and put the deadline out of your mind, and let the words flow. I'm in a similar situation, I need a 5 page synopsis for our contest by June 1.

Don't stop until you get those done for the day, then reward yourself. No cleaning out closets and such time wasters allowed. :) Best of luck!

So get your bun in the chair and your hands on the keyboard and prove that this is who you ARE! I'll even challenge you. I'm working on a 2nd draft of Angel of Air and Earth. Wanna see who gets the next 60ish pages done first?? I know you're working and I'm not, but I'll be out of town for the first 5 days of the next week, so time-wise we should be pretty balanced (unless you kick ass fast - I'll be zipping through my 60 starting Tuesday) Race you to June 3...Jackie Hhttp://www.jcgarren.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12323728.post-41671762487685585542010-05-27T17:42:27.110-05:002010-05-27T17:42:27.110-05:00Stop blogging and get busy, young lady! 50-70 pag...Stop blogging and get busy, young lady! 50-70 pages is nothing for a talented author such as you.

Give yourself a little reward at the end of each day for meeting your goal, even if its something as simple as sitting down and watching two hours of TiVoed shows. Guilt free, of course, because it IS your reward! You can do this, Lexi.Debra Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487022995861887640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12323728.post-39637299283795703472010-05-27T07:02:18.543-05:002010-05-27T07:02:18.543-05:00Wow, at the rate I'm going I won't finish ...Wow, at the rate I'm going I won't finish the book and Natalie, you'll end up being the winner since no one else is leaving comments!Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897165800930936073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12323728.post-52394820331357384412010-05-25T22:47:39.942-05:002010-05-25T22:47:39.942-05:00You can do it! 50-70 pages is nothing if you set y...You can do it! 50-70 pages is nothing if you set your mind to it!
