Some of you may know that I have been working on a writing career for the past few years. I have only thus far published one chldren's book and it did not go so well. I have been writing since I was a preteen. Won some awards and what not when I was in school and had many teachers tell me I would be a great writer. None the less I waited until my mid 30's to even begin to try and write.

I have been working on novel for quite some time now but had gotten into quite a rut. I found myself staing at the place i had left off day after day and no words would come...it was driving me nuts and really disappointing me. I thought I had lost whatever it was that had gotten me started in the first place.

Then I was invited to join sarah's and I began blogging. I had never blogged anywhere else in my life and found it quite appealing to just type whatever came to mind without must forethought or any scrutinizing over detail, grammer, or sentence structure. Well, I kind o knew that some of my subject matter would recieve comments and i was prepared to hear those. What I was not prepared to hear were the comments i recieved on my writing style and how well written my blogs were.

I thought "wow, completely effortless writing and people are saying I wrote well". It made me realize what had been blocking me regarding my novel. Yep... it was me getting in my own way. I had stopped writing from my heart and soul. I had made the novel too important. So important it needed to be perfect. And with constantly trying to write it "perfect" i had put so much pressure on myself i couldnt write a word.

Well... I had to thank you all because as of yesterday I have begun writing again and I couldn't be more thrilled. I know the words will keep flowing now and I will finally finish it and start attempting the publishing process.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU
LOTS OF LOVE AND KISSES.... HMMMM AND FOR SOME OF YOU SPANKS AND PRODS.. LOL]]> http://www.sarahsplayhouse.com/Persephoni/blog/sarah-jane-and-my-playhouse-pals/ Mon, 12 Jul 2010 01:41:28 +0000 Persephoni
