I, indeed, don’t know how to do things half way.

So in two week since I told myself I would do it, there’s a full plan going on for this book. I am living and breathing my characters, listening to podcasts, checking Instagram pages, searching for book conventions… and my ideas are driving faster than a roller coaster. So fast that have to abandon some of then, less I want this book to resemble an 80’s Christmas tree.

And just to make life difficult, I have to force myself to prioritize my day job on a hourly basis. You know of those, the ones that pays the bills? In a big financial corporate company, with an important boss that requires me to have my head in the game at all times? Damn.

But I am going strong and unwavering. Postponing (with unease if I may be honest) to do a financial business plan for a book where just the lining and first chapter is half done. So consistency it is.

And rules:

1. All days I need to write something, one paragraph or one chapter, just something.
2. I cannot re-read what I just wrote. Did that early this week and almost gave up. After the amount of books that I read, you would wonder how difficult it would be for me to describe a living room! So believe me on this one, it is difficult.
3. Will trust my English. Have more in me that I give me credit for.

Other postponing idea is to create an Instagram page. I am a private person, so using my own will be a no go. And the thought of feeding another demanding kid, one for which my abilities lack severely…give me headaches.

In theory, sounds wonderful, share my thoughts on the books I read, do reviews, talk with other readers and writers, give you bits of my character’s. But in practice? I don’t know how to do a Story, a Reel, how to film, put me on film… give me Black-Scholes investment models, sleepless nights with kids, Dickens to read, an IKEA wardrobe to assemble. No problem! Instagram? Even WordPress (which had to sort it out early this week)? So. Damn. Though.

So, I guess I will keep something for the next months.

Keep learning, keep writing, keep going.
