My Spoiled Inner Child

I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to focus on making a living from my own writing. Duh, R.

I’ve always been a procrastinator, but it seems to be increasingly worse when I’m working on something I don’t have an ownership in. For a long time, I just wanted to make a living as a freelancer, no matter what it took. And I’ve done that, for the most part. I don’t make gobs of money, but enough to get along.

Maybe that’s why I’ve gotten spoiled. Maybe that’s why Murder - uncontracted-and-only-a-couple-of-folks-even-interested-in-it Murder - kept threatening to derail my work on Secrets. Which is contracted.

So I pray for discipline, struggle, and try to keep the spoiled part of me locked in the closet. That scruffy, messy, unruly ego.

What I DO know is that if I want to succeed with my novels, I still have a lot to learn. Now I just need to go out and do it.

One deadline at a time.
