Writing as Journey
This traveling around makes it hard to get to the important stuff--like writing and keeping up with LiveJournal, Facebook, SheWrites, etc., etc.
Does anyone remember Learning to Fly? My first fic. I am trying to turn it into a young adult novel, ages 14 and up. It hurts when you have to start pulling paragraphs and whole chapters. If it doesn't push the story forward or apply to the theme, it must go. Be ruthless!
I am submitting the third draft chapters weekly on Critique Circle and getting loads of help--and beginning another major rewrite.
Let's see, was it six or seven years ago, more, that I started this novel? I was a different person then. Not only did the writing change me, but I didn't have the many wonderful writer friends all the over the world that I have now. I had no idea how close I could feel to people I had never seen or actually met. Even though, like some close friends that I only see once or twice a year, we still remain friends--and support one another however we can.
Happy journeying
