I blame it on laziness, and I think that is partly right. A lazy person does not face the things they know they should do. So...I'm sitting on the edge of starting that first sentence of the first chapter of my rough draft. <br /><br />I know that when I finally do sit down and slog out a very "straight from the head" rough draft, I'll hate it. I'll hate it while I'm doing it, and I'll hate it when I return to it to rewrite it later on. But I'm more ready now to face this challenge than ever before. My characters are more ready, and my plot is more ready. I think they're finally strong enough to survive my pathetic first attempts to write it all out.<br /><br />As always, you're ahead of me in the game, having already written three chapters. Good for you!! You are going to go far, and one day I want to have a signed copy of your novel.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14731008424356867852noreply@blogger.com
