Oh my gosh. I just completed my second book this year, in eighteen days. Like, that is literally astounding to me. And this story has 28K words in it! XD
Thank you all so, so much. If it was not for you guys, I would not have known how far I could stretch. I would not have known that I was capable of writing a chapter a day. I would not have known to describe the area around the character based on their feelings (Thank you for that one, Duckbang!). I would have made myself finish a book this year, because that is my annual goal, one I started and achieved since I was thirteen. But, I would probably not have learned anything from making it, like I learned things from making this book. And above everything, I learned that I can make myself do anything—including finishing a book—if I really put my effort into it.
It's like an article I read earlier today (Yes, even though I write a chapter a day, I still have time for myself). It said that motivation is like a match; it will and can get you started, but it will not be enough to actually push you through to finish a book. When I first saw it, that was before I started Stronger, my first completed book this year. My first reaction was to disagree with it. I mean, come on. How else do you make yourself write something? But, after I finished Stronger, I began to see how that would make sense.
Before I finished Chapter Fourteen today, I finally read that article. And I agree with it. Motivation will not pull you through, because it does not last long enough to do so. So Wattpad has really been a blessing to me, because it not only made me push myself to finish Stronger, it also gave me constant reasons for a fresh motivation for this book. And I thank you all, because I never could have believed that I would be able to make two books in one year, in just a few days. In two months, I completed two books. I do not know how I am not burnt out yet. XD
But I thank God for my writing abilities that He gave to me. Seriously. I am grateful to have them.
If you guys want the link to the article, here is the link. It is called Why Motivation is a Myth.
