Can you believe it, it's December already and this is just my 7th post this year?
But considering my lack of entries here, I must say I've surprised myself by writing even more than I imagined this year. I rose up to the challenge my husband gave me and finally started writing the novel I always said I wanted to write.
An online course I took up for free on creative writing started me off and gave me the confidence to write. People say, or maybe some writers said that you should write what you want to read. So that's exactly what I've been doing.
To be honest I'm kinda going into this whole writing thing more on instinct and based on what I pick up from my own reading, so I'm not really sure if I'm doing it right or if people will want to read my story.
But I tell you this, the process of writing is thrilling and something I definitely wouldn't mind doing for a living. I mean, I just love creating this story from scratch and creating these characters who I happen to love.
Narcissistic? I think not. More like I'm giving these characters a life, a story, a direction and hopefully a good ending (i love happy endings) so... what's not to love about it? I don't even mind if I'm the only one who will ever read it. Weird I know.
But then I have days I think I'm writing crap especially when some parts don't make sense, sound corny and are downright rubbish.
So anyway... is anyone reading this? Would you want to read my novel?
I'm not quitting yet.. wish me luck! Pray for me ya ;)
