write and publish a novel

I want to publish my novel (and complete it)

i’ve written 60 pages

I’m restructuring my list so it’s filled with things I want to actually make immediate plans to do. For this one, I’ve decided I should start with smaller goals. I’ll re-add this when I’m actually ready to do it.

I have a million writing ideas, sufficient writing talent and training. Now it is time to put that to use and write my novel!

This is it. The main one.

I love to write, but I’m terrified of people reading it. I’m a little too self- concious…
But I know I’m good at writing, and I know I could be better, and I know if I really tried, I could get published. I don’t have the money for that at the moment, or in the near future, but the first step is for me to get over it and let somebody read my stories…

I have started the planning process. I have the idea, and even most of a summary of what is supposed to happen. I just hope that I can get through the whole thing so I know if I am capable or not to make it a career.

I have always had a passion for writing. I have always knew I’d end up being a writer. That is until High School English Composition class. After that class I realized that according to a professional I sucked at writing. Didn’t squash my passion though but it did prevent me from making my college major focused on English or Writing. I am now 37 years old and in a completely unrelated field of work but I still want to write a book. I have been writing the same book for at least five years now. I need more time to devote to it but I am still confident this could happen for me one day. I will just keep typing away and editing and re-editing until then.

Well I thought I’d updated this long ago. We bought the new comp, couldn’t find my files, but I found them.

Anyway. Haven’t done any work on this story. The main reason is because I have NO IDEA where the plot is going. Bah.

i’ll add this later again. going to try something less difficult first like a magazine article or novella.
