I think I'm writing this one as part of a PhD to generate some external 'demand'for it, otherwise it would be too easy to shrug and say, Who cares?

Speaking as some...Fabulous you got some words done! Speaking as someone with no deadlines (like many writers who keep writing books that go nowhere) it can be tough making the effort. Now keep going - write the rest and worry about what people think of chapters one and two later. Or unfriend/block your critics later... 😈LuWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793378306766981247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-90786280688249121192021-05-16T22:18:27.121+01:002021-05-16T22:18:27.121+01:00Thank you, Penny, Becca & Anne.

Love this!<br /><br />Well done on working your way out of the sulk! I've been struggling with writing over the lockdowns but find having a daily word target of 200 helps. It's not too scary a word count to stop me from starting at all, and I frequently end up writing more.Becca McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339982441409936532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-58730955852338153852021-05-15T11:32:55.256+01:002021-05-15T11:32:55.256+01:00Glad you got past your great sulk - but some WIP&#...Glad you got past your great sulk - but some WIP's really do desrve a good sulking at!<br />Well done with the word count.Penny Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386668303428008498noreply@blogger.com
