    mmmmm...

    I can't wait till I finish the book I'm working on someday so that I can make the insane sequel where I'm going to do a billion different things all at once- Though, I'll probably put some of it into this book.

      All I'm saying is I struggle with that mentality too. The sequel isn't what sells the first page, its the other way around.

      My unsolicited advice?

      Set yourself a writing goal, and figure out how many days of writing it'll take you to get it done. Start with 20 minutes a day, or 300 words. Increase that once you find a rhythm. Make it happen. Build in some rest days so you don't get demoralized if you miss for some reason, but get yourself a checklist so you really feel accomplished as you tick those boxes. 

      You're still in early stages, which means very soon it'll be very hard to not just quit cause the story feels stupid. Every one of my stories, no matter how good, hits a few points where I want to quit. 10%, 15%, 25%, all very hard moments. The middle is still hard, but it gets easier. And then the end... you feel like you're flying. Every day you look forward to being able to put those words down and get one step closer to having a book. 

      The only way to get there is to write every day. Don't think you don't have time, make time. 20 minutes a day isn't a lot. You'll finish this book before you know it. And then it'll be time for the sequel.

      Good luck, you've got this.
