Before I am Famous

Last night, I finished the book I was reading which was Maeve Binchy’s Nights of Rain and Stars. Believe it or not, I read the last 180 pages in about hour and half. It was a pretty good book. I really like stories that have so much going on but not too much where you don’t know what the hell is going on.

I was thinking about the novel because the last one I read was Harry Potter, thinking about the amount of discipline to actually write 300 pages of a story that is interesting and realistic. I guess I always knew that writing a novel would be a lot of work but I guess I always thought it would be some what easy. Wow, I don’t know how people do it. And they do it everyday.

Okay so I have a novel in the works. When I first started out, it was only a novella that was inspired one night when I was playing galaga on my PS one and drinking Pepsi. But the more I worked on the story, the more ideas flowed for stories about some of the other characters.

As of right now, my novel is about mothers and daughters and the life they lead is similar to the previous genration. By the time I hopefully done, there will be 4 novellas. And the novellas can stand alone or be read together. I am working on the 3rd novella and haven’t even started the others.

Truth be told, it is sitting in the notebook collecting dust since when I started the story I actually wrote it on paper like in the olden days. So anyway, I know I should I transcribe the written story to the computer. In one way I don’t want to because the edit monster will come out and I will never finish transcribing. What I really think is going on is that eventhough I want to write it bad enough, I can’t want to write it that bad or would I have done it.

I actually wake up some days and think today is the day. I just have to get off my ass and do it.

Have a nice day!!
