I’ve been working on my WIP, Drawn Together, off and on for about three years now and I’m still not finished the first draft.  That’s included at least three false starts that involved scrapping over 25k words, months on end without writing at all, desperately misjudging how long my first draft would be, and all kinds of other things that have slowed me down.  But recently, one thing happened that has made all of the suffering - the mental health breakdowns, the imposter syndrome, the crushing self-doubt - worth it. A Twitter pitch contest.
