We're in October now , not too far from November and the realisation that I *likely* won't finish my novel this year is rather damning. Alas I have no one to blame but myself.
14 chapters, a little over 52,000 words written but not yet complete! I sometimes go in circles with my thought pattern, or magically find a better way in which the story can be carried forward in either the main plot or the sub-plot. The sub-plot is causing me more consternation than the main plot!
Plan plan plan, think think, idea, think. Huzzah, sit down and write a few sentences.....ah, I need toothpaste! Better go get some!
^^ Just an example

So, can anyone else relate?
