For many people, starting a new manuscript is infinitely easier than finishing one. It makes sense - starting a book involves the fun and exciting parts of writing, such as world building, fleshing out characters, and coming up with plot twists. But when it comes to finishing a book, sitting in front of a Word document can become slow, grueling, or even boring. If you’re looking to finally finish a WIP you have in your Documents folder, of if you’re embarking on an ambitious writing challenge such as #NaNoWriMo or #FinishUrBookFall, watch this video to get in the right mental space to finally finish your book!
