I've been cruising some new blogs that I was introduced to, and one post has really inspired me to fully focus on my writing. From this post, on the aptly titled blog How to Not Write a Novel, I have found several of the frustrations, idiosyncrasies, and limitations that are hindering my own writing process. There were times as I read through this that I couldn't help but smile from the comfort I received from locating at least one other person who can relate. And then it made me think. What's really holding me back? Is it something physically keeping me from putting out a novel? Besides myself, the answer is a resounding no. So I'm no longer standing in my own way. If I fail, I'll live, knowing that I at least tried my best. The novel that I've already completed is about to get pushed like never before. It is time to seize my dreams. Or simply enjoy myself merely trying. Either way, I have been inspired into action.
