write a book

Right….so now that I’ve had the entire summer to take in all of the changes in life, I’ve decided that a memoir isnt really the path I want to go. I’m going to write a novel!
I have so many ideas, so much inspiration…it is just the challenge of getting it all together and putting it in writing.

My boyfriend is a writer too, but he writes fantasy books…
We promised to keep each other on task and not let one another stop writing.

we’ll see how this goes….

A few weeks ago I tagged along on a four day car trip across the country, giving myself the perfect opportunity to write. Things came flooding back to me and the memories came pouring out of me and onto the notepad. I was able to jot down quite a bit, and I am now well on my way to getting this thing layed out in order.

So here I am…stuck. I’m not sure where to begin. I have some ideas, but everytime I begin wirting I get my entire story mixed up and find myself going off on a tangent about something that isnt really all that relevant to the story. I need to stay focused and stick to the point at hand. Should I do an outline? Ah, ofcourse I should. I was just at borders looking for a day planner…ofcourse they have none, but I started glancing through new memoirs and got really inspired. Ideas began flowing through my mind…but now that I am home I am drawing blanks. shucks.
