Writing Confession

Every now and then, I'm asked what an "authoress" is, as seen on my about me over on the right. Giving the dictionary.com answer of "a woman or girl that writes" always reminds me of the all the writing that I've set aside and or forgotten completely. Its like this:

Person 1 : I'm writing a book
Person 2 : Really ? Neither am I.

I love to read and I love to write, too, but it seems that every time I get a so-called "brilliant" idea for a novel, life gets in the way. Then, before I know it, I hardly know my characters anymore and feel that anything I would bother to write would be pathetic. No, pathetic squared. 

The truth is that the last piece that I even finished was a ten chapter sequel for a book project in 7th grade.
(You can read it here). It seems that I'm hardly a authoress at all, never have been, never will be....

I know, though, that I can do it, finish a manuscript, and that's why I'm seriously going to be putting some effort into the book that I started plotting back over the summer.

Have you ever started a book? Ever finished one?
Care to give me a bit of encouragement along this writing journey?


Well, in any event, o
n to the linky!

Things that I’d appreciate (AKA the rules):

  1. Link up any post that fits into the awesome, recent, and wholesome categories.
  2. Please place the linky button on your sidebar or otherwise link it where I can find it.
  3. Spend a moment to comment on a post or two before you and subscribe so you can come back next week!

I have never began a book. However I have been told numerous times that I should write a book. Not a novel, but a non-fiction one of my life : ) I don't know if I will ever accomplish that task. However it is never far from my mind.

Bio's and autobio's are really cool to read. I think that more people should write them, just because otherwise how will we ever know what life was life for that person?
Let me know if you ever get to writing, Machelle.

I have a lot of posts about writing and staying on track on my blog. I'm a self-published author with currently two books available and a few waiting in the wings. I tell people (jokingly, for the most part), that I may not be good enough to lecture about how to write well, but I FINISHED so maybe I can at least help people learn to do that and then leave the quality of the writing up to them.

Those are the two areas that I have trouble with, Heidi: Writing well and writing enough; They are pretty common, of course.
