SoulShattered Zero is going to kill me

I swear it is.

I’m finally done with the first pass editing, but all too late remembered that I had never finished the last two scenes of the damn novel. It’s like 1,500 words AT MOST and I tried to get them done yesterday and I COULDN’T. I tried two different angles and liked neither and why? Why is this so difficult to finish? I want to be done with it.

Hoping to get some inspiration to finish the damn thing, I checked back on my files for SoulShattered One and I ended up hating SoulShattered One. I always get into these phases when I write my novels. First it’s ‘This is the greatest thing since sliced bread’ and then ‘Actually maybe this is not a very good story’ and then I go full ‘Oh, God, I hate this and it’s such an awful story and I’m only publishing it because I’m not throwing this money and time to the trash’. But I’ve had so many issues with SoulShattered that I’m just perpetually stuck at the hate-this-thing phase. Honestly, I just dislike SoulShattered One so much I’m this close to just remaking the whole damn thing even though I’ve done two edited first drafts of it.

This is why I need a reader friend. I need to send the stories to someone when I’m in the middle of this phase so I don’t go insane.

But by God, I’m finishing this. It’s like five planned books and I’m not stopping here. Today I read that Craig has done a hundred and forty something books and I need to pick up my pace even if what I’m doing now is trash. Maybe it’s not. It’s probably just me being dramatic, but damn, it doesn’t get easier with each book, uh? It really doesn’t
