The worst enemy a writer has is the procrastination in himself. I find that with working two full time jobs and preparing to go back to school in a month the time I had allotted myself to work on (and finish) my book has ceased to be. When I wake up I'm so run down from the previous days events that I have no drive (but I still have the desire) to sit down and write for an extended period of time. I find myself saying, "I'll work on it tomorrow or this weekend." Well, next weekend turns into next weekend and so forth.
It becomes aggravating and I have finally reached the point where I am fed up with myself. I need to stop making excuses and sit my backside down and write. Everyday that I put off writing makes it more difficult when I start again. I almost have to relearn each one of my characters to figure out who they are. That is probably another part of the problem.
The characters in the story are nearing the most critical stage in their journey. The book is about to become very fast paced. The characters are beginning to develop their relationships with one another and the action outside of their control is going to begin to change the story into the darker more despairing side of the story.
It's all going to be changing for the characters and I'll be posting more tasty morsels for you to enjoy very soon.
