Reasons I shouldn't have to finish my really hard novel

1. First novels are always bad.
2. Songwriting looks a lot easier.
3. First novels don't usually sell very well.
4. Non fiction pays better than fiction and I already have two non fiction gigs, not that I have gotten paid for either of them but it's the principle of the thing.
5. First novels are famous for being bad.
6. Scripts go faster.
7. Okay, so I suppose Bluer Than the Night Sky was technically my first novel and I have written three feature scripts and I've been writing for a really long time but it's the first novel I ever started so it must be terrible.
8. All right I really started my first novel when I was seven or so. This thing has already won a small writing contest.
9. I guess I will have to finish it.
10. Sigh. Why can't I write it in my sleep? Who do I have to bribe around here to get that done?
