There is something I'm dying to write, I've been waiting to write for the last three years. I just don't think I'm a good enough writer to do it yet. I wanted to get something else written first, before I tackled this project. It's a heart wrenching, gut-stomping thing that's been eating at me for years. I did a sort of outline, chapter titles, and have the characters in place. I just don't know where to start, how to begin. It's crazy.<br /><br />But I will try.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174226224096540850.post-18638572812897502012009-11-13T17:12:50.728-05:002009-11-13T17:12:50.728-05:00What an honest post.

We don't have TV, just the basic stations. We watch a lot of movies. "UP" is on right now.<br /><br />As far as taking an unwanted break from writing, I'm sorry. I need quiet too, but I'm slowly learning to write through anything. <br /><br />If you don't love the book, don't write it. Read this <a href="http://theinnocentflower.blogspot.com/2009/05/divorce.html" rel="nofollow">post</a> of mine about how I felt when this happened to me for my current WIP. No worries now; I love the book with all my heart. But last year I had no idea...<br /><br />Things change. We change. If you're not madly in love with a story, why chase after it? Unless there's something there pulling and tugging you, even something you can't put your finger on.<br /><br />Don't worry about NaNo. In a way it all makes me angry that so many writers beat themselves up over not finishing or not keeping up with everybody else. It's just unfair. We all write differently. Listen to your heart, what you really want to write, what's dying to be heard. More than likely it's something you're scared to death to share. That will be your best work.Michelle D. Argylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09696465137285587646noreply@blogger.com
