Ok, so I’ll admit I didn’t do my homework like I was supposed to. Shame on me.
Lucky it’s not for a class. But I am disappointed in myself for not doing it when I had the extra time.
Writing is easy, when I actually sit down and do it. The problem is that I have a hard time focusing my energy. I need to figure out how to do that. I have a million ideas about this book in my head. Sometimes I write them down, more often than not, I don’t. I am probably losing out on a lot of great ideas. I think I am going to start keeping a notepad with me in my purse. It’s easy to write something down if I am at work or at class, but it’s hard when you are trying to live your every day life. I mean…what happens if I were to go out on a date for instance and I have this brilliant idea. Am I supposed to just whip out my notepad in the middle of dinner and start to write? I am sure my date would start staring at me strangely. lol….
Perhaps the first part of writing a book is really about brainstorming my ideas. I haven’t done that. That’s part of what the homework told me I should do. It’s a process. I don’t think I can honestly come up with a great novel by just writing. Sure, I’ve written some pages that I am sure could be added into my story, but none of the pieces are really fitting together smoothly. Why? Because I haven’t brainstormed the entire piece.
That is what I shall do. To be continued….
