B1P Day 245: Character Introductions and a Looming Interruption

Today, I continued my scene with my hero and best friend getting to know one another. They finally exchanged names, which will make my writing job easier from here on out! I also steered them from their conversation into the next bit of movement. I think I managed it relatively well, though I lack confidence in these transitions.

But this morning, I found the application guidelines released for the scholarship that I write about, and that means I’m going to need to put a bit of work into the website for the next few weeks to get all of my articles updated. I’ll need to be spending any free time I have on that project – while still trying to get my book out as soon as possible to take advantage of the scholarship period!

It’s going to be busy and I hope I can keep up the motivation to continue working at it. It’s easy to sit here now, at the end of my morning writing session when my motivation is highest, and say that I’ll do it, but once the workday bludgeons me into submission or the kids run me ragged, it’s a little harder to find that spark.

But I have to.

Take part in the journey!
