tjlandry is still making my list.
I have a huge hangup when it comes to writing a book. I have had stories in my head for so long, and yet I can’t ever get beyond writing the first few pages. I think the frustration lies in that great expectation that goes with writing. It’s hard for people to accept that any writing could conceivably be just to do it. There always seems to be attached a need to “make it big”, as though I might be the next bestselling author. It makes me feel ashamed, like I’m a pathetic waitress hoping to be the next “it” girl. I want to for once just put it all on paper and get it over with. I’d never have to make a nickel from it!
