I feel similar because I had really hoped to publish P&P this year and the sequel soon after (which I just finished for Nanowrimo and is going to need edits). So yeah, these things take time. With the year you've had, it's just great that you are sticking to your goals at all.

A couple of months isn't going to put that much of a curve in your plan. Congrats to you, and all who committed, for having such great ambitions. <br /><br />I have over the years taken to steps forward, and then two steps back. Feel like I'm at the beginning of the game once again, struggling to get the writing done. But I'll get there. 25 books in 5 years - not sure if I'll ever be able to go there. :)Cher Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817089871390887197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-9274928267389380392014-11-20T03:07:02.593+02:002014-11-20T03:07:02.593+02:00It's always best to take your time, and you...It's always best to take your time, and you've managed to get a lot done despite the setbacks.

I doubt I'll get it published before the end of the year. <br /><br />I see authors who pop out books like sextuplets, and I'm envious. But they either A) don't have kids at home and a 'real' job, or B) are turning out substandard products. <br /><br />I definitely don't want to ruin my rep by getting in a hurry.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516493326566981116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-30492403149709522132014-11-19T02:29:39.521+02:002014-11-19T02:29:39.521+02:00Good luck!!Good luck!!Traci Kenworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336373871521363649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-7605738085535597472014-11-19T00:27:28.628+02:002014-11-19T00:27:28.628+02:00You have a good plan.
