I'm not embarrassed whatsoever to offer this advice. As "unoriginal" as you feel it is, the point is simple: these are the kinds of things procrastinators need to learn and master in order to overcome procrastination. If you're above the advice, good for you. Most writers aren't however. @Lisa I’m sorry you feel that way. I’m not embarrassed whatsoever to offer this advice.

"Believe in yourself?" "Commit?" People who procrastinate CANNOT commit, that is a big reason why they are procrastinators. Also, creating a plot is not hard. It's chracter and voice that's the toughstuff.

But I think now is the time to act and to deliver...I am doing a full time job and working 60 hour weeks (saturdays working included). I am also spending 12 hours travelling time every week. 8 weeks is also the time I have given myself...we can both be a buddy to each other and get our novels finished. I suggest: 1. writing an email to each other about our word count 2. Issues, if we face any, and we can suggest some things to get over it. This is only if u feel like, in this oppurtune moment... Let me know.. Best regards, Ritesh Hi Barbara,
