Welcome to my writing blog! I have made a couple small attempts to start a book before, but never got far at all. Recently, I decided I need to just do it -- just sit down and write. So that's what I started doing, and I decided to start this blog to also write about the journey.
One of the problems I've noticed I have is that when I get excited about writing again, I will spend so much of my time reading tips about writing from books and others' blogs. I get obsessed with following up with authors to see what advice they give out, but then I spend time reading all of that and not writing! So this time I will make an effort to balance both.
I started to write just a few pages a year or so ago and then never returned to it. I recently pulled up what I had written, tweaked the story a little, and now I have something I'm very excited about writing! All I'll say for now is that one of the main characters is a social worker. It's not at all autobiographical, but we are supposed to write about what we know, right? So that's what I'm doing.

Welcome to my writing blog and my journey as I try to write my first novel!
When did you start a book blog? Holy cow - it's like you're a whole different person than I thought!
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for stopping by. I notice you have the same predicament as me: when I feel like writing, I read more about the process rather than actually doing the writing itself. By the time I sit down to write, the vibe is gone, and it remains that way till the next cycle.
