Well… that happened

On my latest release, I've had some success. Instead of doing hopscotch and dancing around, I'm staring at my stats all day. It stays at one book sold all day. By 5:15 I'm at 2.
I only just release it so it's too early to tell what my average will get to.

But the only thing that matters is putting out book 2.
Staring and refreshing my stats does zero for me.

Book 2 plot problems are fixed. I just have to figure out how much of the original I can keep.
And I have to shut off stupid stuff that makes me want to keep that stupid page open rather than making actual product that I can sell.

this was supposed to be the dream. Why am I so stressed?

Just as a reminder- this is very low importance. It doesn't need to be any good.
It just needs to be finished.

If I get this scene in and these words, I'll break 20K on this thing.

I have 15 scenes so far.

Need at least 50 more.

According to Write Track I need to get 1786 words a day to meet my 50K goal this month.

Today, I need to create a solid outline so that I can set my writing on cruise control.

IMPT FIRST STEP: Write the scenes in any order. This is an outline. I WANT to be able to move things around later. Just get some things percolating.

Don't mind me- I'm just having a really hard day. Can't quite figure it out. Nothing should be wrong. I felt I was building some writing momentum with the 1st story. but I can't buckle down to do story 2. 

If it's just going to flop- what is the point? 

I run into this same certainty with all my stories. There's no point jumping ship.

Which leaves me feeling stuck in this story. Because I have nowhere else to go.

I am plagued by self doubt. 

So the issue is- the story is fine. Not perfect but probably serviceable.

I'll get a good cover.

I'll request help with my blurb and my title. (although I'll probably just keep that simple).

On to book 2.

For book 2 I would like to complete my outline today. Time to move on. I've dragged this out for too long feeling helpless and depressed. Time to get the series closed out.

Therefore I need to get moving, full steam ahead. Don't look back, only forward. Get excited!
