Finish
To this day,
at 48 years-129 days-and 42 seconds old, wait. . . 43 . . .44 . . .Oh! Never
mind. My point is, to this day, one of my greatest accomplishments has been to
finish my first novel. I even went so far as to spend a few years rolling it
through edits, THEN even published it. Wohoooo! It was a great feeling. But
that feeling has faded to black. I’m working on a new book now, and am failing
miserably in getting to the finish line. As a matter of fact, I can’t even see
the finish line.
So today,
class, the lesson is about finishing.
Repeat after
me: I WILL FINISH ____________
You fill in
the blank with whatever project has you stuck.
And since
the internet has taken us to an international scale, I’ve compiled a list of languages
translating the above sentence. See if yours is in the list.
French—je vais finir
German—i wird beendet
Swedish—vag kommar att avsluta
Spanish—voy a terminar
Danish—jeg vil slutte
Swahili—i atamaliza
Redneck—git er done
If I didn’t
include yours, it’s because I’m not intelligent enough to make my computer translate
the different letter characters yet. Maybe next time.
Whatever you
are working on, repeat the above phrase as often as necessary to do the job.
Push forward. Use whatever motivation needed; rewards can’t hurt.

I will if you will! Je vais finir si vous vais finir.
Yes! I love it!
I will finish my second book, too! I've set, and so far been keeping, the small goal of a page a day, or 20 minutes.
It's enough to keep me rolling, and I don't get bogged down either.
Keep it up!
Cool! I saw a great post on finishing a couple of days ago:

Good luck getting #2 done. I'll be stopping by in the future I'm sure so keep us posted. I'd like to check it out when it's done!
This is inspiring...Hopefully I can finish one novel in my lifetime..
I too seem to be stuck. Currently in editing which was addressed on "E" Day.
Thank you for the encouragement! Happy writing and blogging to you too. MoonWynd
