When I’m writing my novel, I love it.
But when I’m away for too long, doubt sets in and I’m filled with everything that’s wrong with it.
With a novel in progress, distance makes the hard grow colder, so stick close to your novel until it’s done, nurture it every day, and you’ll be less tempted to break up with it.

Great advice, Eve — and it can apply to writing a nonfiction book as well.

I had a question. My homepage is where I put all of my blog posts and I wanted to have another page so I could put all my reviews and tags there. I know how to add pages ,but I don’t know how to put blog posts in them. Can you please explain. THANKS

It sounds like you’re wanting to sort categories of your posts onto different pages, which probably means you’ll need to use a plugin. Since I don’t know how to use plugins I’m probably not the right person to ask. Maybe this link will help? https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-categories-into-different-pages

Eve! You’ve spoken so true to me right now. These are words I need to live by as I write my current novel. I adore it and I really don’t want to drift away from this one the way I did with my last.
Lovely post 😊

It’s a funny and kind of brilliant way to look at it. Don’t let the passion cool! (But on the other hand, breaks can keep things fresh, I think. So that you CAN continue to romance 🙂
