another project

so...i started a new book. now i know what you're thinking...mindy, why don't you just finish the one you started already!? well i'll tell you why. i don't know. i'm at a standstill with that book. i read it over and over again and i'm constantly editing it and adding dialog and it just doesn't ever seem to resolve any reservations i have with the storyline. it's lacking and i can't figure out what it needs. it's really frustrating. so i'm taking a step back from it. it's pointless to force the storyline because then i know i'll just go back and change it. it has to just come to me and it's not. maybe it's just not meant to be. NO. i won't expect that. i've been working on it for over two and half years. i won't just toss it to the side. but i'll let it come to me when it wants to.

so! my new book just started flowing into my head and i had to write it down. i've been working on it for less than a week now and i'm over 10,500 words into it. it just keeps coming, so i'm going with it. why push back when i've got the inspiration? i'm kind of excited about it. now's not the time to dive into what it's about, but when i tell you, you can't laugh at me. okay? okay.

i'll check back soon!
