I've gone and done it...after years of contemplating and dreaming, I've finally decided to put my pen to paper and start writing. I have to admit that I'm not a plotter, I'm flying completely by the seat of my pants. Those that know me would expect nothing different. I never make plans, because I've learned long ago the only thing plans are good for is breaking. :)
I know that this is going to be a long process, but hopefully it's something that I can find satisfaction and happiness in. I love to read, I love to imagine. But I've always been too scared to write. Sounds silly I know, but the thought of others reading my work is pretty daunting...not that anyone will be reading my stories anytime soon. But hopefully in the future I will get past my fears.

Good for you. I took the plunge and was published in 2012. I'm still writing.
ReplyDeleteNEVER give up. Just write. It doesn't have to be good, just write. You can polish later. Trust, I had to kill my inner editor.
I will hold your hand if need be.
