Thanks for this. I am in the process of doing my first story. This is very helpful, and I look forward to more.
Thanks, Lynn! This helped to pull me back to the creative writing process just as I was getting impossibly lost in the story while I was writing. Now I can go back to my outline, and making index/scene cards to carry me along in the process. Also very helpful was the reminder to allow myself a special time and place to write and feeling okay about closing the door to family during that time. Finally, and probably most important, I really need to stop polishing and reaching for perfection as I go along, but just get the first messy draft done and edit LATER. A huge weakness with me. It is too frustrating to get the first draft down and edit at the same time. You have been such a wonderful support in my writing. If I ever finish this book, you will be first on my list for sending a copy!
