I was browsing Barnes and Noble the other day for new books on writing when it struck me - I've been doing a whole lot of reading about writing lately, and not so much writing.
I set out to change that.
So far I'm on chapter three of my newest novel. Words are coming easier than ever for this novel, and I hope to keep it this way. Getting my sh*tty first draft out of the way.
I am very optimistic about this book. I might never get it published, but at least I'll have it off my chest. The words have been weighing on me for so long, begging me to actually write it. Have you ever had a book like that? Something that begged and begged to be written, something that you just had to write?
I'm also trying to read more - my reading has been honestly lacking.
I'll be bluntly honest with you - reading books nad looking at YA Fiction really intemidates me. It's just the thought that there's so many "fish out in the sea" that who would care about my little book?
The truth is that I care about my book, maybe others will care for it too, maybe not. But at least I wrote what I had to. And at the end of the day, isn't that what all of us writers want to do?
Cheers!
