I'm am crawling through the last 10K words of this book...#amreading #chicklit #author #indieauthor #amwriting #kindle #kindleunlimited

My anxiety over what I have to do to tell Chrissie and Alan's story is making me a touch ill. I don't want to let my readers down. It's OK if they are really pissed at me, but I don't want to let them down so I have a knot in my stomach that won't go away. I have a heroine who goes from young adulthood into womanhood. She lives in interesting times. She's a complex girl... and yes, I read my mail...she's a bit messed up and many of you want to slap her. I don't know anyone who makes the right decisions always. I don't know anyone who doesn't screw up sometimes. I've never known anyone where I haven't cringed a time or time and thought Oh don't do that, please, don't do that. So why should Chrissie be different?

She is the character I connect most easily with. She is the character I write the easiest. She is the character I get really mad at. And she is the character I have the hardest time letting her make her mistakes. It is sort of like watching my 29 yo daughter. She's going to make her wrong decisions whether I say Don't do it or not. And she'll learn from them. Eventually. And life will end for her as it is supposed to. But I won't tell you how. What would be the fun in that?

10K words to go. I'm going to sleep a week when I'm through with this and this final chunk is off to edit. Then I get to wake up and start all over again because I've got about 25K words  left on the third book. I love how it ends. I wrote the line a year ago when I started the series. It just seemed so very right.

As ever, I wish you Peace.
