It needs to be a novel!
Over the weekend I sent my short story about time travel and the end of the world to a friend who is an editor. It’s the same story that I had submitted to a contest and was rejected. She loved the story and is doing an edit for me but she feels the book has too much potential for a short story and should be expanded into a novel.
I keep getting swept up in life and have not sat my ass down to write. I need to change that. Even if I just write for 30 minutes a day. These stories that I have running in my head are not going away and are not writing themselves despite my pleading. Currently I have three potential books on the table.
– Messiah story
– Time travel / end of world
– Sci-Fi / Prison planet / woman trapped
I spoke to my wife about quitting work to write. The answer was no. Pipe dream, right? So I’m back to the 30 minutes a day plan.
I have that issue too, not sitting down to write. I wish I could quit my job and just write, but I’m single and have to pay my own bills. 30 minutes a day sounds like a plan. I do a work count:1000 – 1500/words a day.
I have snippets of stories in my head; I’m not even sure if they are good ideas. I guess I should just write and see what comes out.
@mara3470 National Novel Writing Month (NanoWrimo) helped me get over that issue of whether its good and I just wrote. It was freeing.
