I've never been to a creative writing class in my life, but I've read and scribbled a lot. One of the interesting things about 2008 is that it was the year that I started my novel. Its not a bit of flash fiction, not a short story, its an honest to god novel. (More than 100 pages so far.)
I'd like to say I've been working on it week to week and now its almost done, but I've never done anything like that. It seems I need a bug and it bites me only when its in the mood. I've heard and read that I can master the little gnat and get it to work on demand but so far I've had no luck.
So far last year was probably the hardest in my life....maybe I'll give my muse a little slack. I lost my grandfather a few months back, this was my first ever Christmas without him. I'm almost 40 so....I mean what could you expect....but loss is loss no matter when it happens and you always seem to think you're entitled to more time than you really are.
We live in the now but our things always seem to get pushed to the later.

Writing requires energy. Sometimes this is hard to muster.
ReplyDeleteGood writing = much practice. I'm not a good writer either, but I hope that I can improve through frequent practice.
ReplyDeleteYou position in life is difficult, bit perhaps not unusual. I'm going through a bit of that myself.
