#Momentum. This may not look like much - it’s just 3 new pages being added into the book binder for #TheScotlandBook. But it represents 3 hours of organizing the book today to see the holes I really have left to finish writing (there are a LOT, I discovered 🤦🏽‍♀️).

Soooo this is my first time officially participating in #NaNoWriMo - thanks to Jessica Jaxx! NaNoWriMo = National Novel Writing Month. Perfect month for me to get some massive plot hole filling done with #TheScotlandBook. If you’re reading this, are you doing NaNoWriMo too??

@jamesoliverjr Yes you are little cutie!!

Sunday morning. Bed head. Fav robe. Blank piece of paper. Sunlight bringing the peace and calm. This is perfection. On to write the draft ending of #TheScotlandBook! 🤗🤗

Now - about getting this window cleaned from the outside 🤔🧐

What are you #writing today?

[A.D. Smith @ADSmithWrites]

#TheScotlandBook work happening this morning. PERFECT fall moment for coffee and plot-hole-filling. What are you all up to today?

[A.D. Smith @ADSmithWrites]

👉🏽Another great tip from a #writersworkshop I recently went to: study your favorite books. Take note of what you love about them.

📕Maybe it’s graphic design, checklists, highlights at the end of chapters or the way chapters are organized. What makes sense for your book?

I don't know about you all, but as a #BabyBoomer, my dad grew up in an era well before the dawn of the internet, cell phones, selfies and TikTok.

Another win!! Found these bonus #handwritten pages for Ch. 15 - draft already done! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 One day I was hanging out at a fav Cuban dive & this chapter was in my head. Grabbed a blank notebook & old-schooled it for a good 1.5 hour #writingsprint. So glad I found it!! #momentum

[A.D. Smith @ADSmithWrites]

@JustinGTanner So pretty! Looks smooth.

Now I can tackle it - knowing which monster I’m facing.

This project’s back on.

Just wasn’t sure how to go about it.

Now that I’ve had such a break from the book, I can see what’s needed so clearly. Just tell the truth - as you know it. Without worrying how people will think of you. This is the authenticity part. That’s why it is (was) so hard.
