As I’m approaching B-day (b for book, of course), I’m getting a taste of what will go wrong when writing during the next year.  Here’s some thoughts I’ve had of this subject so far:

1.   I’ll die and not finish.

2.  I’ll get sick and get behind and not feel like finishing.

3.  I’ll get discouraged.

4.  I’ll feel ‘why should I?’ and ‘who cares?’ and ‘what for?’.

5.  I’ll get bored.

6.  It’ll suck and I’ll have wasted this time for nothing.

7.  Everyone else will be having fun while I’m writing.

8.  Everyone else is better at this.

9.  When I’m rich, everyone will just want to like me for all the money I made from writing. (Pendulum swings…)

10. I won’t have anything left to say after I’m done.

On a more positive note, my family saw a great musical at Disneyworld this November “Finding Nemo”.  ‘Just Keep Swmming’ my just have to be the mantra for this book.  One year seems like a long time now – I’ll have to trust it won’t be.
