The Secret Reason Successful Writers Abandon Novels—and How You Can Overcome It
In fact, the current project I’m working on is ridiculously hard. It’s a four-book series. Each book is very long. And I’m making good progress on it. I recently published Book 1 and I’m a few scenes away from finishing the first draft of Book 2.
In every measurable way, this project is massively more difficult than that first novel I tried.
How is it that I can do this hard project now, when I couldn’t publish that (much easier) project 25 years ago?
Writing Makes You Strong
The answer is time. I’m 25 years more experienced now than I was back then.
