Such great insights and advice here. Thanks Grant! It’s almost like you’re writing this _just for me_. 😀
Also, Leigh’s quote “I think the hard work of writing is just how long a book is terrible before it’s good,” really hit home! I’m pledging some time in the writing chair starting this March. Thanks for keeping me going!
When writing my last novel and finishing up on another, I had their beginnings and endings written straight away. The middle? Not so much. I seem to be more preoccupied with the story's pacing than with getting something written to just get it to the finish. Any suggestions in moving through the middle?

That's a great quote, isn't it? Good to hear you have a writing plan for March!
So many great tid bits in here! Writing my novel is definitely teaching me a lot about resilience and patience.
Thanks, Mallory!

Oh, great question, Nancy. I'll see if I can answer this in my next newsletter or the one afterward. Middles are so hard!
Thanks so much, Laura!
