Blazing away
I am chipping away at writing my novel bit by bit. I never thought that I would get so serious about getting my book finished, but despite how time consuming it is, I am really excited about how it is coming along. I doubt myself sometimes, because I think, "who's going to want to read about this?" I just have to push myself to get it done. I have finally made it to chapter 4, despite constant interruptions and dawdling. This is quite the milestone for me, since it sat at chapter 1, for almost a year. I have been doing lots of research and realize that I am not the only one who experiences lengthy set backs, even the best of them take a long break. Hopefully it will mean that I am seasoned enough to finish it within the next year. There are various sites that have been giving me excellent information, including http://fictionwriting.about.com/. Ginny Wiehardt is amazing and I have already consumed several of her informative articles on fiction writing. Believe me, if you have the kind of descriptive dreams I do, you'd want to put them down on paper too, who knows, maybe they'll become a bestseller one day. Jewel of the story...don't put off your dreams, literally.
