I have a problem with confidence in what I am composing. My best advice is comes from my blog post, so I’ll quote it here, it might help someone. Hopefully.<br /><br />“What is the best advice to a beginning writer you could offer?<br /><br /><br />Mine would be this: once you start to write, just write… don’t get bogged down with research or dissecting your structure or worry about anything. <br /><br />Just write and let the rush of starting something new push you onward. There will always be time to go back and pick apart what you have done. If you have to, keep notes of names places and scenes for references—but don’t stop composing to read what you have done until you’re DONE, or the rush will leave you behind scratching your head, or the feeling of self-doubt will creep in and the overwhelming feeling will make you feel inadequate… <br /><br />Also don’t worry about word count it will come and it will all work out.<br /><br />That about sums it up for me, I hope you write and make millions… best of luck!”Jeff Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00667419764890599092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3236777363311736445.post-58518351771237761152010-04-28T07:38:12.845-05:002010-04-28T07:38:12.845-05:00I think writing a short story to help you get back...I think writing a short story to help you get back into things is a good idea. Writing a novel just seems like a really daunting task, especially for those of us who are not writers.Julie Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06462386948229063576noreply@blogger.com
