I figured out the issue with the WIP and am now putting the chapter to bed, and starting a new one.
The whole writing thing can be such a trial: fight to get an idea, fight to write the book, fight to edit the book, fight to find an editor/agent…a friend of mine said it best, though. She told me whenever she feels disheartened, she remembers Ali, because even in the fights where he won or won big, he still took a bunch of body blows and went to the mat.
Words to remember.
