finish a novel

I’m afraid of putting so much effort into something and then nothing comes of it and then I get blocked. I start something, outline, get about 10,000 words in and then stop. It’s happened three times now.

Like most aspiring writers, politicians, and old people with a large monkey on their backs, writing a novel can be key in draining your brain of all the rich goo.

But, it takes time. So get off my back!

Acctually, I have a publisher looking at one idea that I have pitched to them….[suckers!]....but I will get it done.

I’ve been stuck in a middle of the book rut for some time. I keep jumping to other novels I’ve begun because I can’t get over this hump. But today, I went for it! I finished four and a half pages. I love when I get fresh ideas. They keep me going for quite a while.

Like most writers, I’ve got a few novels in progress. I’d like to just finish at least one and give it a fighting chance at publication, either conventional or electronically.

i finished a couple.. now I need to revamp what I want the future ones to be

Okay, I got an introduction. Not a bad place to start at all. But I think this is quite a feat to finish a novel. So I’m gonna go ahead and break it down.
NEW MINI GOAL: First Chapter Completed.

Oh, and it better kick ass, Shuffshuff, because you’re sending it to your best friend for criticism. And you don’t want to send a shitty first chapter, do ya?

See, you’re already talking in the second person. You’re practically writing a novel already.

I’ve started so many novels in the past, and I just want the satisfaction of knowing I have finished one.

Finish the damn story! Only three chapters are done! They’re pretty good chapters though.

... on page 63 for about a year. I have a character that I just can’t get from my head to the paper the way I want. He’s there, I just can’t get him to come to life, and I can’t continue with the other characters until he joins the bunch. They are waiting for him!

I have 3 novels in the works right now…..

I think i’ll go insane.
