I've been grappling with a difficult decision lately: deleting my first book. I know it sounds drastic, especially considering the considerable effort I've already invested. However, the truth is, I've lost all motivation to work on it. The initial chapters were written under duress; I forced myself to write even though my heart wasn't in it, resulting in a project that feels creatively stagnant and ultimately uninteresting to me. This lack of genuine enthusiasm has left me creatively blocked.
Therefore, I've decided to move forward with my second book. This project holds my full attention and sparks my imagination in a way my first book never did. It’s a story I consistently find myself thinking about, a narrative that truly excites me. I believe this shift in focus will allow me to produce a more compelling and satisfying piece of work. I hope you understand and appreciate my decision. It's a difficult one, but I believe it's the right one for my creative well-being and the ultimate quality of my writing.
