Writing

The past three days have been good writing wise for me. I have managed to average a little over 2000 words each day. I am shooting for that today too.
Yesterday was actually a bit more because I moved words from eh old version of Bastard Prince to the new version and did editing on that to make it fit.

I love this story, have I said that before? I love the fact that I think I may actually be able to do it justice.

The mind does weird things. I set aside writing for a couple years, except for nano, because I wasn't good enough to tell the stories I wanted to tell. I was advised by someone I highly respect to shelve this story indefinitely because I needed to improve my writing.

My desire to write vanished when I accepted her suggestion. It occurred to me yesterday as I edited the scenes that needed editing to fit with this new version that accepting her suggestion was the first mistake. I stopped writing, I lost the desire to write, to create because the story of my heart was waiting.

I'm not writing it to get rich and famous. I'm not writing it because of other people. I'm writing it because I love the story. I love the characters, I love the fact that when I am writing Zander's story I am happy.

But the bottom line of all of this? If you don't write, you won't improve.

I am thick skulled, yes. Sometimes it takes a while to get through all that bone to the brain but it does eventually get through.

I don't know how big the project will be. I am writing it as 1 book which will probably be split into two, so I am guestimating here. We shall see.
