It has taken me years to gather the confidence to actually finish and submit, not to mention the perseverance.<br /><br />I've had such great mentors too, so I think that is a great help for wold be writers. But I think the underlying reason people say they would like to write a book is that you see your creation in writing and are in some ways immortalised.<br /><br />I enjoyed stopping by.

Some look at writing as this great daunting, impossible task or something relatively easy to do so they can they can start whenever. Both lead to grave disappointment.

It's our choice to decide what we will do with that ambition.<br /><br />I like the idea of hearing someone say that and handing them a pen and paper to write their idea. That's what you mean, right? That would be super funny. Kind of off-putting, which I like.Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-3563116207501886782012-12-05T11:31:38.866-06:002012-12-05T11:31:38.866-06:00That comment always get my response of "You s...That comment always get my response of "You should.
