#amwriting

I've been struggling all week to come up with a blog post. To even open the blog to post. The reason is simple: I'm in the final stages of a first draft.

I have the following thoughts on constant loop:

• "I'm almost done!"
• "I'll never finish."
• "I can't wait until it's done!"
• "It's going to be too long."
• "You can fix it!"
• "It's not going to be any good."
• "You can fix anything!"
• "I think it's going to be good!"
• "It's not enough about racing."
• "Non-racing people might like it more then!"
• "Maybe I didn't get the balance right."
• "Shut up and write!"

I'm serious. Those play on repeat about every five minutes. 

But I am making progress, I will be done soon, and I can fix it. I've done all that before. It's the eleventh-hour syndrome. When you JUST. WANT. IT. TO. HAPPEN. ALREADY.

And really, all of that can be summed up in two hashtags:

#amwriting

#fixitlater

Anyone else in the same boat?
