Not enough free time to write.
I want to have things to write about on my Blog, but I am afraid my life isn't terribly interesting. lol Sorry. One thing I am extremely proud of is that I FINALLY started writing my book. I have tried numerous times without a plot coming to me. So I scrapped them. It's been about 9-10 months of doing this. Granted I don't have a lot of time to write, so maybe I haven't given it my all, but I also want this to happen naturally and not forced. Some local events took place that has inspired pieces of my story and here we are. I have my main characters. I have 2 pages written (yeah yeah I know not a lot) and the main plot figured out. Now it's a matter of sitting down and writting, and letting the characters go through these situations I am placing them in. I edit too much, I over think things too much, and then I edit again. So Im trying to leave it alone and just write. With two kids, husband, a house to clean, meals to make, snacks to prepare, laundry and dishes to do, usually I am left with a couple hours at night to research points of my story and write. Hopefully it will continue and NOT SUCK. :)

Oooh what genre of book are you writing?
ReplyDeleteuhmmmm... I'm not even sure what to call it. Drama/romance/soulful. lol I dunno. It's about a 19 year old girl who loses her parents shortly before (or after) graduation in a car crash. The head on collision caused by a drunk driver. There is a twist but I don't want to give it away...and then I have to make a book out of it all.
