Today, I got my 1250 words written before noon. They aren't very good - but they'll do for now. I'll go back and edit once I have a first draft complete. Maybe by then I'll have a better feel for....I dunno....setting? Character? Plot? Dialogue? Pretty much everything, to be honest. I feel like I couldn't write my way out of a paper bag and yet I continue on. In some masochistic way, it's fun.
Meanwhile, I continue to play with Dumpy Grace...
Don't worry, my dear. You are in good company. When Elizabeth Hay won the Journey Prize, she said, something like, "It seems I've done something right. Now I just have to figure out what it was."
ReplyDeleteYou do need a writing community, though - online or face to face - that's for sure. I honestly don't know how people do it alone!
