Ughhhhh so much sympathy (and empathy because I've been there)! I love this though:
"Running back to my sweet, comfortable spot wouldn’t challenge me. And although it’s been hard, I’ve been allowing myself to fall in love with new places and new characters. I’ve been diving into new situations and it’s been great.
"It’s also important to challenge Lou, or else, like why is she the main character? I want her to be able to live a full and exciting life."
These challenges will get both you and Lou to a better place, or at the very least you'll have learned some things. Can't wait to read A Lethal Lady!!
I hear you and know a little something of your struggle because I'm there sometimes, too. One step at a time and you'll eventually get where you're supposed to be, even if that place isn't where you think you ought to be. And remember to reward yourself. Take breaks. Be grateful for the little or simple things. They can go a long way on days when the goal seems unobtainable. I enjoy your writing and want to see what else Lou and other characters get up to in your world. Keep on keeping on, Nekesa! From one writer to another, I'm rooting for you.
