The Closer I Get, the Harder It Is to Finish

Getting close to the end of revisions. I find the closer I am to the end, the more reluctant I am to finish. I am not sure why. I have been playing a lot of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in anticipation for the new Ocarina of Time re-make. But I fear the name of the game is procrastination. Any thing to not finish.

If I finish, then it is real. If it is real then people will read it.

This is all just too much.

So in an effort to not play video games, and strickly focus on writing I have started reading a new book. It is interesting so far. Not the best thing I have ever read, but certainly not the worst. I am only on Chapter 10 though, and my friend Niki swears it is amazing. So I will keep reading, and I will withold judgement until the end.

Oh, the book is called Bloody Black, by Rhiannon Hargadon. Morally grey MFC, she is a pirate with a heartbreaking past. I am really rooting for her to go on a killing spree. Its on Kindle if anyone is interested. :)
