Finally someone pulled the trigger on me too and threatened me to finish my novel by the end of October or by the first of November, and I was like, what? This was, by the way, my sister. But this is a challenge I am not going to lose. I am so close. I am so far from finishing, get the fuck out, no one knows what a mess I am in. But it is good. I have never had anyone waiting for me to finish my work. It has only ever been me, doing the waiting and the working and the thinking, and then doing it all over again the next day. I want someone to hold me accountable, and challenge accepted. I will finish my novel by the end of October. When November begins, this manuscript is finished.
