Children's Book - Day 19
This is hopeless. I had so many aspirations for this book at
the beginning, and I thought this would be a fun month, but I’m not enjoying it
at all. I just feel really inadequate. I read a bit about publishing today, and
I don’t think I’d ever be ready for that. And if I was, I doubt anyone would
read my book. And if they did, what if they expected a second? Have I told you
that I don’t write much? I only feel inspired to write once or twice a year, and
in those moments, I write something I really like, but once the moment passes .
. . it’s over. After I was done reading (and getting more discouraged), I
looked back over all I’ve drawn and written this month, and I’m happy with some
of it, and mostly unhappy with the rest. Then I just stared at a blank piece of
paper and tried to figure out what I’m going to do. I don’t know how much I
believe in my story anymore . . . it seems to me that it lost its focus or
subject when I expanded it. So do I just try and draw stuff for the remainder
of the month, start on something new, or just sit here at the wall, not sure of
what to do? This is not how I was hoping this month would go L
