Put to Rest


Today, I hit another milestone. I finally have put Chapter 6 behind me and like I said to a group of likeminded writers, it took me thirteen times before I became satisfied in my work. Yes, yes, thirteen is indeed the supposed unlucky number but in my world, maybe it is actually lucky. Who knows?

Now onto having the entire novel of 21 chapters finished by this year, yeah, I don’t think there are enough hours in my day. I have been doing segment editing and proofreading of 4 chapters at a time and chapters 7, 8, and 9 have been worked on almost as much as 6, but still there isn’t enough time.

I’ve been working on a strict, self-set, schedule to accommodate everything in my life and my lifestyle. From family to work to exercising to editing, I have almost everything scheduled. Usually I fall behind in something in my life, mostly its sleep, and have a hard time catching up. Personally, it has definitely been sleep and keeping fit and healthy.

“A healthy body harnesses a healthy mind to help create all the wonders that only you can bring forth.” ~Anthony Rhodes
Keep your body healthy, your mind sharp, and never stop. Don’t quit until you are satisfied with the results that you are looking for. That’s what I tell myself and now it’s put to rest. Chapter 6, welcome to my novel.
