Okay so I've edited some old words but I haven't written anything new for quite a while now (and have been feeling horribly guilty). Anyway, I just want to say that this post has inspired me. It's reminded me that, when I wrote novel #1 in just under 4 months last year, it wasn't down to fairy dust it was because I got my arse down on a chair and wrote..and wrote..and wrote. It IS down to hard work and how much you want your dream to come true. And I wanted to write (and finish) the first draft of a novel as quickly as I could.<BR/><BR/>Now if I could just solidify the new idea for novel #2 in my brain I COULD start writing! Maybe I'll write a short story instead. Either way, you've kicked me up the arse to start writing. So thank you.CL Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650291635298634215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-76726898164157549452008-10-01T23:56:00.000+07:002008-10-01T23:56:00.000+07:00Brilliant post.

You're so right that it's all irrelevant without the hard graft, but I certainly didn't believe that when I started this writing lark five years ago. I do now though.

I've also found that it gets easier the more I write and the further I get into the ms - the words tend to come easier and I know what things to avoid through trial and error. <BR/><BR/>But I've found the hardest thing to overcome is the nagging feeling that I can't do this and that I'm not good enough. There have been many days that I've procrastinated rather than writing. I'm glad to say that, like Debs says, the more the word count increases the less this happens.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712024237175327405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-76763170897579441052008-10-01T15:37:00.000+07:002008-10-01T15:37:00.000+07:00I had a comment on my blog a couple of weeks ago a...I had a comment on my blog a couple of weeks ago and now it's stuck to my wall.<BR/><BR/>"Believe and they will come."<BR/><BR/>Simple.<BR/><BR/>You will do this, I know that you will x<BR/><BR/>(ps - in answer to your comment over at mine, pacha deleted her blog)Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470638074202676460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148402657600219790.post-52067567645220472782008-10-01T15:35:00.000+07:002008-10-01T15:35:00.000+07:00Bloody hell JJ!
