It's practically the end of the month, and it seems clear I will not make my goal of finishing "A Sidekick To Miracles," even though it was totally doable.
The problem is, writing is hard. And rewriting is, if not just as hard, probably less enjoyable, and that makes it just as difficult. I have had several opportunities to get to work on the audiobook this month, and have found an excuse not to nearly every single time.
Today, though, I found myself alone in the house for a few minutes, and I forced myself to sit down and at least finish Chapter 3. It took approximately five times longer than it should have, which is not great, but also not the worst I've done on one of these. And then, after my run tonight, I did Chapter 4 (which is barely a chapter, and still took twenty-something minutes).
So, here's where our bottle stands as of now (great, it is not):
You may think I'm doing better than last time, at least as far as the bottle goes . . . and you'd be right. Last time, I thought there were fifteen chapters in the book, but there are only thirteen. So it looks like I've made much better progress than I have.

Any progress is good! Don't be too hard on yourself, you're working on it!
