…two steps back

I had been making pretty good progress on my novel up until about a month and a half ago.  Then I got slammed at work, which caused me to put other personal projects on hold, even those outside of work.  Then as I was finally starting to catch up, I got sick with a horrible sinus infection, which took me about three weeks to fully recover from.  As a result, the writing came to a halt, and it’s been really tough getting back up and running.

So late last week, I went back through everything I had written so far (which is a lot) and made some minor corrections and adjustments.  Then I gave it all to Christy to read so I could get some well-needed feedback.

Thanks to that feedback, I now have a lot more work to do on it.  Granted, it needs to be done, and I’m very thankful for her help.  But it’s also a little frustrating because it means it’s going to take me a lot longer to finish it than what I was hoping.

If I can keep going, though, I think the end product will be worth the effort.  But for now, I better roll up my sleeves and get busy.
