Relax, Enjoy the Ride

I’ve never really had too many conflicts with my inner critic. She keeps her mouth shut until she’s spoken to, for the most part. My first chapter is my latest source of angst. It started when I entered the InnerMoonLit First Chapter contest. The word limit is 2,000 words. My first chapter is over 4,300 words. I cut the last scene to fit within the limits. Guess what? I didn’t like it. I became a little paranoid that perhaps 2,000 words is what I should be shooting for.

I took to the forums and learned this just isn’t so. Go with the flow of your work. It was comforting then to read a blog post that reiterates the same message–relax, go with with the flow of your work. Put that inner critic to bed and keep writing.
