Hi, guys!
The first four days haven't been as productive as I'd planned, but they haven't been as bad as they could have been. I'm gradually increasing my workload, but not yet at full capacity, leaving some room for maneuver. So, I haven't yet implemented everything I planned, but I'm getting there quite actively.
Now, starting Monday, I'm planning to gradually ramp up work on the book. That's the scariest part right now. I'm so worried about it; I've been struggling to get started on it for a long time, and I feel like the longer I put it off, the worse it gets. So now I'm thinking I just have to take it, like a leap into cold water. Just put everything aside and jump in. And most of all, I need to put aside the feedback I received from the publisher, because it seems like it's the reason I can't start working full-time, and it's really bothering me.
I think that once I start working regularly on the book, my life will immediately become easier because the anxiety that constantly consumes me about it will go away. And it's very strong and simply doesn't give me peace. So I just need to cast aside all doubts and get to work.
I'll probably take another writing course this week, on novel writing, which I'll take in order to start another book. Right now, I'm planning to work on them in parallel, so that when I'm not inspired for one, I can work on the other. I think something might come of it.
Today, I have to go to the post office, send a shipment, and pick up a few packages, and this has already become quite stressful. In fact, everything is already quite stressful, and I have to cope with everything, but I'm trying not to give up. Somehow, I'll manage.
The main thing now is to get into a rhythm and maintain it until the end of the year, and then we'll see how we deal with all this.
Have a great day everyone!
