Okay, okay, I get it...
When I heard that it took David Eddings seven years to write Pawn of Prophecy (Belgariad #1) I have to admit I scoffed a little bit. "I could do that in my sleep!"
Okay, so I'm stupid.
It's taking me about that long, and longer, to write Elemental. Part of my world building included writing a novella.
Sure, a LOT has happened in that time, but if I can make this a full time career at some point I won't be able to make excuses.
My World of Warcraft subscription is running out and isn't going to be renewed. No more "obligation" to play just because I'm playing a fee for access on a regular basis. Writing is the priority.
Okay, my job is actually the priority since I kinda need that to keep food on the table and a roof over our heads, but...writing before gaming.
I want the second draft of Elemental to be done by next Sunday. That's my goal.
I can do this.
I will do this.
This is what I want to do with my life.
