ALEX AND HIS MEAL TICKET - Blank Sheets

As I’ve said, I have been writing this novel for a gross amount of time. It’s been about ten years now. Life, having nearly zero guidance on how to be an adult, shitty relationships, and not having any idea where to start with my own process.

Over these last ten years, I have learned and created tools for my own process. The neurotic lists that my right brain had been craving all my life. The reference sheets and visual aids. I’m not done learning yet. Hell, I may never be done learning and adapting to new strategies. When I am finished with my first novel, it’ll make every one after it so much easier. I know this for certain.

I am being kinder to myself for abandoning a timeline, a due date, a deadline. Sometimes, that’s what we need.

So, if you find yourself reading this, and relating to my laments, cut yourself some slack.
Other journeys will not look the same as yours. For me, for yourself, follow your dream but don’t box yourself in with a self imposed deadline.

Obviously, I’m no expert but maybe something I’ve found to help me, will also help you.

If there is such a reader, cheers to us.

Thanks for reading.
