I definitely had no idea what I was getting into (knew very little about agents, had never heard of a query) when I started writing more seriously about a year ago. Thought I could write a first draft in a year with a job and young kids. Wasn't sure I'd have anything to say on a writing blog, lol. I had been writing a family one and that was easy. Amazing how much we learned this year! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418440256681984621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-49973487221036095292010-12-11T03:29:14.598-06:002010-12-11T03:29:14.598-06:00lol congrats on 1000 followers!lol congrats on 1000 followers!Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-50575533140935760512010-12-11T02:07:31.523-06:002010-12-11T02:07:31.523-06:00You're there, Jen!!! 1000+ Whoo-hoo!

It's not just true for writing (although it definitely shows there!), I always think I can do 36 hours worth of stuff in about 8... :p So, I thought this past year I could write two novels in one year, and no. But I wrote one really good (I think) novel, so that's not too bad.Guineverehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058786129073896210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-11362834422715176622010-12-10T16:24:24.614-06:002010-12-10T16:24:24.614-06:00I swear this is true but...

I didn't know my characters would take over my thoughts and dreams, waking me up and compelling me to write. I didn't know I'd pretend to listen to someone talking when I was really thinking about my WIP. And I thought editing meant looking through a manuscript a few times and querying.<br /><br />i'm with you on the red wine.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-29748247570943671312010-12-10T15:14:52.147-06:002010-12-10T15:14:52.147-06:00I see OVER 1000!!!
