So I'm gonna say right back at you my friend. Don't be too hard on yourself. Don't take it too serious. Just pour your heart out on paper - and then become perfectionist when the first version of the manuscript is in your hands. That way, you will be working on something already tangible.Izzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526355824376465709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039532225394731616.post-26544134189823807372007-07-06T09:56:00.000+02:002007-07-06T09:56:00.000+02:00I will Izz, truly.

But I'll let you know as soon as it's up and running again.Esther Garvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499704062488259082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039532225394731616.post-80244737706063822982007-07-06T08:30:00.000+02:002007-07-06T08:30:00.000+02:00You should complete it, if not, then start a new o...You should complete it, if not, then start a new one for I believe your vast experience of interactions and many contrasting worlds can really teach people a thing or too in a novel. Bring it on please! Be a fellow writer.Izzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526355824376465709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039532225394731616.post-37103945167412554562007-07-05T22:51:00.000+02:002007-07-05T22:51:00.000+02:00Hehe, I believe in you because you're hungry enoug...Hehe, I believe in you because you're hungry enough. No doubt about the skills. I started working on my novel in 1998. Put it on hold when I got involved in Eden - seriously. Not done with it, but now with my mom being sick and all, it's just got to wait. John Grisham once said in an interview that people don't make good writers until they are thirty. When I read that, I was eighteen and did not believe him. Now I sort of think: cool, I'll gather life experience and then when the time has come, I'll pick it up again, and when that day comes, I think it'll come pretty much by itself. <BR/><BR/>Good luck now!Esther Garvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499704062488259082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039532225394731616.post-80610339768517382432007-07-02T10:18:00.000+02:002007-07-02T10:18:00.000+02:00I have a story in mind, the plan is being written...I have a story in mind, the plan is being written down tonight. But as a matter of fact, it's all been in the works in my head for sometime since passed 3 months. Just battling to get it more focused.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for such a big vote of faith.Izzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10526355824376465709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039532225394731616.post-9775224645019996612007-07-02T10:16:00.000+02:002007-07-02T10:16:00.000+02:00I think you will make an excellent novelist, Izz! ...I think you will make an excellent novelist, Izz!
