Writing Life

Having a writing buddy

I acquired my writing buddy quite by accident. We originally met up over crocheting and discovered we had a lot in common. We both loved to crochet, make patterns, art, and writing. Chatting with her on messenger always inspired me to try harder in my knitting/crochet business. But as time went on, my hands couldn't take the beating anymore, so I switched to writing.

Now, we challenge each other with writing. Every morning we meet up on messenger and let each other know what we'll be doing that day. We do check-ins throughout the day. The funny thing is, we never planned it. It's just something that happened over time. And it's been great! It's one of the reasons I was able to push past barriers and publish both of my books.

Right now, it's 2:56 PM EST. My goal is to edit 4 chapters today. I still haven't done it. The local Writers' Guild meets at 6:00 tonight. The pressure is on. I refuse to confess at the end of the day that I didn't meet my goal. So, I'm off to edit. :)
