Hi! Thanks again for reading my blog. This first post is simply where I am going to tell you what this blog is going to be about. I is going to be about me, my writing, and my journey as a writer.
For starters, I am going to do a lot of complaining. Writing is work. It is joy as well, but make no mistake, it is brutal work. I think Hemingway once said that writing is easy: All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed. So, I'm going to bleed a lot here, and whine about it. I hope you find inspiration in the fact that you are not alone in your pain. I hope so.
So many other writing blogs are from published writers, and you don't always see the pain. They may mention it, but it feels like only in passing, or that you can ignore it, since they've made it and it must be easy now. For me, I don't think so. God, I hope and pray it's not true! This will be my sixth novel (and the first I think might be readable by non-family) and they don't feel any easier ...
Wish me luck! I wish you the best on your journey!
