Lots of people believe they can write a novel. And they talk about it alot. Actually writing one is a different ball game. Right now I’m working with a mini-group of writers who are sharing their work. All of them are brave souls.
It takes alot of courage to show your work to others, but of course, that’s what this system is all about. People write and people read. The goal of course is to have readers. How wonderful to have people read one’s work – that is someone else beside friends and family.
I have re-visited the opening of my latest YA novel. Again. Trying to go deeper. Trying to demonstrate emotion. Trying to utilize feedback from contests.
It’s work, for sure. But I’m happier working on it, then not. There’s the complexity. Some days I wish I could walk away, but I can’t.
So, on I plod. But it’s all good – as some teens like to say. I can see progress in my own writing. And that’s a very good thing.
It certainly is “all good,” and I look forward to reading you work, Jodie!
Glad to see your blog is back in action. You have such an beautiful website that you need to show it off more!
Thanks so much Jacqui. Yes – I’m proud of my website and blog. I love the colours and how clean and clear it is. I’m looking forward to sharing my work.
I love your website. It’s easy to navigate and fun to read.
Thanks so much Jo-Ann. I appreciate the feedback. I was looking forward to having an embedded blog – so I’m pleased with the result. Thanks for dropping by.
