OK, I have 330 pages and I think my book is coming along nicely. It is so frustrating to keep myself from fixing as I go, thus slowing my momentum. Trouble is, if I slow too much, I get a little depressed I'm not getting the danged thing done so I have to find a happy medium.
I have solved this somewhat by keeping a second document open at all times, and when things occur to me that I will want to go back and fix, layer, clarify or whatever, I list it in that document so I don't forget anything. That way I can let it go for now but not worry that I'll lose the thought.
This seems to be helping and I should have this first draft out pretty soon. Maybe a week more. Thank god, lol. Did I mention I hate this part?
