Well it's the end of the semester and I dare say I've learned a lot about myself and my writing. (And my stamina this last week!) Although I know I still have a ways to go before I get to the point where I feel I'm ready to attempt pulishing, at least now I know a little more about whats been holding me back. I have had such a tremendously busy year, and this semester has probably proven to be my most hectic, I am going to take the next couple of weeks off to spend with my family, find my sanity, and get myself in order for next year. Once that's done I do have, on my list, the task of carving out 30 minutes each day for writing. Not sure if I'll do it here on my blog or start actually working on finishing one of my story ideas,, but either way, it will be a more disciplined approach. This is something I never really did before. Before I would write only when the passion struck, which worked then (when I had a great deal of passion) but not so much anymore (when my days are filled with so much other stuff sometimes passion takes a nap instead).
Who knows....given my abilities, my new found courage, and my soon to be more disciplined approach, maybe I will someday be able to walk into a book store and see my name on the shelf. Oh what a glorious day that will be!!!
Seeing one's name in print is a fine thing indeed. One imagines that now NOW the world will finally fall in love with you and you will be its forever object of attention and adoration.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't quite happen, but it is nice!
Well....I think that last bit might be taking it a bit too far. *giggle Quite honestly I don't think I could take it if the world fell in love with me - I have enough problems when just one man falls in love with me! And I don't think I could handle being the object of attention and adored 'forever' - a few moments will suffice! :) The rest is way too much pressure - that's why they created pen names isn't it?
