So, I started to write a book 

Well, I restart-restarted to restart writing my book. I was planning to write it, made the universe over the course of ten+ years.
Then I wrote 39 pages (in two weeks) and now I can't get back into it because I consume too many great books.

So, any tips how to get going? A book is on my bucket list. The serious bucket list, not the "well, visiting Mars be nice, not serious bucket list"

So, I started to write a book 

@commandelicious
I finished the first draft of a book a couple weeks ago. I just wrote 1000 words every day until I got to the end. It took like 3 months and it's a disaster but at least now I have a draft to fix :)

@frankiesaxx That worked for two weeks for me. Then I had no time for a week and I can't find the energy to get back to it BUT
WOOOOOOOO, cool! You go! <3

@commandelicious
hehe there were some late nights of writing and crying but I got this app where I could put a checkmark every day I met my goal and I didn't want to lose my streak. XD

@commandelicious "What I try to do is write. I may write for two weeks ‘the cat sat on the mat, that is that, not a rat,’.... And it might be just the most boring and awful stuff. But I try. When I’m writing, I write. And then it’s as if the muse is convinced that I’m serious and says, ‘Okay. Okay. I’ll come.” - Maya Angelou

@hashtaggrammar Very cool, thank you.
I am trying to condition myself. At least for the youtube channel that is working.
