So it's finally happened!!! No. I'm keeping the growth. What I am talking about however, is that after years and years of weighing heavily on my unconscience mind I have finally gotten around to getting the nuts and bolts running on writing the next Great American Novel. I've created two dumpy characters named Hanzel and Gretel and, oh, they're so

how i feel...

a while ago i decided i wanted to write one too. im pretty far along with mine. i was like you went i started (focusing on story) but now i've realized i just need a message... like something im trying to convey and the story fills its self in. the shitty part is what im working on will not see completion for many many years. it takes a lot longer to write a book than one would imagine.

There is so much that I've wanted to write to you in this little box, and I have seriously been mulling over it for the past fifteen minutes - writing something down, erasing it, then doing the same thing over and over again.

I know deep down that I have taken the steps that I have needed to begin what I want to do.

This isn't going to be something where y'know four months from now I'm gonna be going, 'Reagan .. Reagan .. Rob ... Rob, you've got to read this,' and then know it'd be better suited to hitch up a dying couch then to say that this is my first novel. What I plan to do is going to take a long time.

Right now, I don't even know if I have a message to my story. All I know is that I have a story.

its great sometimes then sometimes not.

i gets to be an obsession... the writing. completely fucks with your sleep. you will lay awake figuring out dialog and come out with a few lines for an entire nights worth of work. at least thats how i am. its a constant state of revision, deleting, cutting, pasting... how anyone writes a manuscript on lined paper baffles me. Most nights I write two new paragraphs and delete three old ones. its addicting though. you wont stop no matter how discouraging it gets.

the sad part is there is no way they are going to let a bunch of kids like us become the next great american authors, muchless published authors.
