Right, this free ebook I’ve been working on since the beginning of time. It was nearly finished in February!!! I’m STILL working on it! It’s only 30 pages. By now it should be War and Peace it’s taking so darn long! The trouble is that just when I think I’m done, I get another idea. I got over one obstacle this week – the pictures to go in and for the ‘cover’…oh my life I have gone boss-eyed looking at pictures!
And of course, every search I do I get 25475 possibilities to sift through! But I have narrowed it down, and that bit is done – its just the last bit that needs to go in. I was going to be finished by the end of the week…and at 7pm on Friday, I’ve just thought of another idea!!! But do you know what, this free ebook is MUCH better than it would have been if I’d rushed it and said ‘that’ll do’.
Next week, it’ll be ready. Honest! Remember, if you want a copy before anyone else in the whole wide world, you need to e-mail me with “Have you finished YET? I want to read it!” in the subject line!
The moral of the story? Why beat yourself up over not meeting your expectations when whatever you’re doing is the right thing. Always. You are always doing your best. I wasn’t ready to finish. But I will be. Soon. And next time I will know that I have a lot more to do that WRITING and I’ll be doing it as I go along.
Love
