impstarDooooone!
At least, I finished writing a book on December 4, finally. It hasn’t been edited, it hasn’t been rewritten, but I finally got through a whole first draft.

It made me
Happy 
How I did it: I have now written 3 books and am working on my fourth.
I wrote an hour every day with no exceptions, including weekends. I did not let anything or anyone get in the way of my writing time. I put together a schedule and stuck to it. Read how I did it… 4 weeks ago

It made me
content
- I gave myself permission to write completely for myself and completely for my own personal entertainment, not for publication or for anyone else's understanding.
- I turned on my old roleplaying brain and focused on staying true to the world and to the characters, rather than on specifically producing "good" writing.
- I didn't pretend mistakes don't matter, but I did allow myself to make them and then move on. My editing tendencies are pretty strong normally, so let my editor brain take a break by having faith that I would clean up the word repetitions and other weirdnesses in a later draft — but only if I could actually get the whole book done. If I don't finish a whole book, though, I never get to the editing stage, and the editor never gets to work on it, so she needs to be quiet and let the mistake-prone writer do her job first. That's the new rule.
PhoenixAshesSo many unfinished
I’ve got a lot of started books, that have little direction and thus I gave up on. The most recent story I wish to write about however has had a lot of planning, plot development and character development go into it, so after my HSC I’m going to totally kick its ass and write that book! 9 months ago
belle1968A question
what do you do when you feel you do not have it in you, yet you carry on. Is it a waste of time? 16 months ago

going through a bad phase. Absolutly unable to write. motivation level, self esteem on all time low. 16 months ago
belle1968still going on
but lose focus at times…oh, I need help. I need some encouragement sometimes…I don’t know how people write along with full time jobs. I salute them. I feel I should take up a job to earn some money but then I will not be able to find time to write, which is my first love. Sob! 16 months ago
belle1968making progress
I am slowly trudging through…Somehow it is taking me a long time. I manage about one page everyday and then I think about changing the whole thing at the end of the day. But I am not going to give up. The most problematic days are when my little daughter is home from school and this month she is mostly at home due to one thing or the other..these days I am trying to catch up on my reading as well because with her around it is hard to concentrate on word allignment. 17 months ago
belle1968I'm on page 8
and writing on…hope I’ll carry on everyday which becomes difficult. Strangely before I sit down to write, I get scared that I won’t be able to..every single day it happens, and when I finally start, it’s not so bad. I wonder if it happens to everyone or it’s just me freaking out… 18 months ago
Dragon89Planned, just need to execute
I’ve had this planned for years now, the plot is finished. Granted it’s finished in short hand with all my major points written down and my end result decided. But it’s filling in the holes that I keep finding the trouble with. I try to write and it doesn’t flow. I edit constantly and can never seem to make it good enough in my eyes. It is my brain child, it is my baby, it is my goal. But I can’t seem to find the time to finish it. And I regret to admit that, when I have the time, other things come up to take me away from it. I need a sanctuary. I need me time to just sit somewhere and work on it. 2 years ago
