Hi, guys!
So I've made it to the first weekend after three weeks of working without them, and now I'm planning to spend two days without working on the manuscript to have a good rest before I start another marathon of work without days off to hopefully finish working on the first draft of my first volume of the novel. I have every chance of finishing the first draft in January and I really hope to write it, so that I still have February to make edits and run the text through beta readers and make edits again, and at the end of February there will already be the first presentation to the publisher.
And here's another thing.
Of course, I'm a little nervous about all this, but when I'm completely immersed in work, I'm less nervous, so I won't fall out of the active work process for more than two days. So I'm only taking a break this Saturday and Sunday to refresh my brain a bit, and not a full break, but a partial one, because I'm still going to be working on the map for my book. Yesterday I downloaded a program for this and have already started making the first drafts. So far they're not very good, but I think they'll get better.
In fact, the more I work on the manuscript, the more confident I feel. I'm getting better at it every time, and I'm sure that daily work will eventually be the key to me achieving my goal. I'm going to spend a year now honing my skills every day, making them sharper, and I hope that in the end everything will work out.
Have a great day, everyone!
