The Daily Breaker Secondary Header Image

Now that I'm done with the novel and my Southland Tales review I can shift focus to all these resolutions. These were the two project that I felt I HAD to complete. Granted I plan to give it my all to complete every one of these resolutions but I'm prepared to fail from time to time.

Now that these two major projects are complete I will no longer have the fear of any of these resolutions cutting into my writing time. I'll be adding a resolution to work on the second draft soon, but now that the story is on the page there will be way less stress over whether or not I'm going to complete the story or just talk about completing it.

I'm going to go somewhat easy on myself today as I decompress and cope with the separation anxiety that I'll be going through from no longer hanging out with the characters in my story the same way that I have over the past four months.

Here's the plan:
