I will finish my book. Not as soon as I'd hoped, but that's still my goal. We are holding you to yours, Sue Anne. :0 <br /><br />SherryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036081035522911730.post-90329735199148715452013-04-20T09:08:06.823-07:002013-04-20T09:08:06.823-07:00All so very true, Sue Anne.

You don't even know where to start or how to plot, format, or arrange a story. Writing requires much more skill than you have, so why even think about writing a book."<br /><br /> I don't know if it was the wisdom and maturity that comes with age or what, but one day I just decided to give it a try. And much to my surprise, I discovered that I knew more instinctively about writing than I thought I did. So I wrote that first story. Granted, it needed much polish, but at least I had made a start. From there I have written four books, two of which are published, one of which won a first place in state competition, and a second in national competition. So, yes, we just have to bite the bullet and write that first word.Will Edwinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833144775064887475noreply@blogger.com
