The Patience in Writing

Hello dear friends,

 

I know quite a few of you are waiting impatiently for updates by now. And I can tell you that there probably will be a new chapter for 'The Heart's Desire' within the next week. For 'Shadow of a Doubt' I have to do some more plotting, and I can't really concentrate on it right now while trying to handle the chapter of THD. All will come in due time.

 

But please remember, I do have a real job besides writing fanfiction. A job that often keeps me working ten hours straight without a lunch break, and that needs a lot of brainpower, energy and sometimes emotional endurance. I don't want my writing to become work that needs to be done, it will only lose by that. And I have enough actual deadlines to meet as a lawyer, where people's jobs, financial support or personal safety is at stake. I don't want to put up deadlines for my writing.

 

I spend a LOT of my free time dedicated to my writing. I take my laptop everywhere, much to the amusement and sometimes annoyance of my friends and family. I write on trains and busses and in cars, I write at airports, I write at night while my husband is sleeping next to me. But writing takes time and balance and inspiration. Sometimes you write two pages in an hour, and sometimes a single paragraph will take all evening. But I write because I love it and enjoy it. And I love it when you enjoy it. But for that you need to be a little bit patient, and if you are, I promise you I won't let you down! : )
