Finish the book I'm writing.

i just started this book of mine about three weeks ago. Its about my childhood, and i just want to be able to read the finished product to my grandchildren someday.

................................

I WOULD FINISH IT BUT MY FRIENDS TELL ME IT’S NOT WORTH IT BECAUSE IT’S NOT ONE OF MY BEST WRITING.

...Is difficult but I’m determined to tell the world about my experiances here because they’re so unbeleivable! So please, support me and keep encouraging me ‘cause I want to write this!!

I am a young writer and artist and i’ve always been the kind of girl who starts masterpeices and never tends to finish them. I’ve started millions of wonderful storys and novels, yet I never have finished any of them, some are years old. The one i’m curently working on, is quite important to me and I really think I need to push myself to finish this.

In fact, I’ve already finished it in first draft – 370 pages. I’m now about to make a third trip to Chicago to visit the National Archives for the Great Lakes Region for additional research. I never imagined I would write a non-fiction book, and went through the University of Washington’s Writers Program several years ago – in the fiction section. Had a few stories published, but then let my writing go while pursuing other things. Then I was given a great opportunity – a non-fiction story met me halfway (I was seeking/it was looking). I fell in love with it and have only to continue and re-write – then get an agent. I will not waste my time with contacting publishers myself – it’s a mind-numbing, time-wasting exercise. Once it’s done to my liking, I’ll contact a likely agent (Found in Writer’s Market), and go from there.
