Dear GYL,
It has been 6 years now. I really think you should be getting your bum into gear, rather than idling in piss-fartitude. If Romi can do, you can too! Yes, you can write a book. You started one and it was fun and exciting but then the story got bigger and it became more complicated and daunting. Every school holidays you would vow to write more but somehow ended up not writing anything at all.
Enough is enough. You know that this is your lifelong dream. And it is an attainable one. Make these upcoming school holidays for you. Your Beloved husband spent a better part of 8 months in the garage ignoring the house, garden and sometimes you. How bout you properly indulge in your passion and hole yourself up in your study? Ignore the weeds, stuff the ironing – achieve your goals.
I know you have been feeling a bit off kilter lately, like you are missing something. I think this might be it. Having something to strive for. Maybe it will take your mind off your body image obsession too. (While not skinny you are probably not half as fat as you think you are)
50 pages in 2 weeks should about do it. Don’t worry about quality – go quantity – that is what editing is for, right? It is okay, you can still go to the gym and stuff. Just treat 7 hours of your day as work, arvo naps negotiable and excessive reading (more books have been devoured!) is considered research.
It will be hard, but it will be worth it. To not do the one thing in life you really, really want to do would be a great shame.
Love,
GYL
PS: How is this for fan fiction? Sookie Stackhouse meets an adult Harry Potter gang. Awesome!
Go write that book, you have no excuses now! And we will all be expecting it too!
Heh heh – your Beloved is out and about with my Beloved! Yup, no excuses. Just remember to nag me in two weeks. I think it is better that more ppl know, so that I can be guilted into getting my bum into gear! GYL
Just as long as I can read it afterwards! (Maybe the edited version?)
Heh heh – maybe I will ask YOU to edit it
GYL
