Recent Thoughts on my Story

Wow, I haven't posted on this in over a month. What is my problem with keeping consistent on blogging? I guess my life isn't too interesting to talk about so there isn't too much worth writing. I will talk about my writing and story though as a lot of my life has been around that recently.

After finishing NaNoWriMo at 50,000 words, I was so burned out that I haven't written very much since then. The goal of being finished by the end of the year is daunting right now but that is still a ways away, who knows...I may make a great come-back.

I have found a website where I can post my work and other writers can read and review. So far I'm getting a lot of help on it and I'm hoping to post the second part of my fourth chapter tomorrow or Monday. But as far as moving forward I am a little stuck on one chapter that I'm hoping to get past it soon and continue on with a new wave of writing energy.

Just the other day I felt so intimidated by the task before me of writing my story that I actually questioned if it was worth it. I will be at this story for years I have no doubt...but for some reason I feel like I don't have that long and it needs to get out. But then I worried that it would fall flat when someone poked at the story and plot. I feel like it has a fatal flaw and I can't find it but am dreading it.

But I love the characters and the story and even if it has a flaw it has great potential and could be fixed, of that...I have no doubt. So, I know I shouldn't give up and power on, being persistent no matter how long it takes because if I do that...that's the hardest part and I will finish the book. And it will be a bestseller and be made into a movie of which I will oversee and it will also be one of the box office hits. Okay, now I'm just daydreaming. =)
