Some subgenres are more challenging for me to write than others. At the moment, I’m writing a historical and I can politely say it is kicking my ass.

I was feeling frustrated about it until I remembered what Nora Roberts said during her RWA chat. One person asked if she’d ever written a book and set it aside because it was beyond repair. Nora’s response:

No. I will win.

I like that response; it inspires me. So here’s what I say to my historical: I will win.
