Plugging away on Crush again. I'm over halfway through the first month. I have to admit that this is a lot more work than I expected. I knew it would be a lot of work, but setting aside time each day to write requires a lot of discipline. Especially when I work full time and have other things that I do (e.g. baseball, spending time with my wife, etc.).
If I learn nothing else, I would have to say that writing everyday definitely helps set up a consistent routine. It's not that I don't want to write every day. That's not the case at all. There are just other obligations that I have to take care of. Now if only I could win the lottery and just write all day and travel. That sounds like a pretty good gig.
Writing is a lot of work, but it's work that I enjoy doing. Immersing myself in the characters of a story and seeing how scenes and dialog play out is very fascinating to me. I have ideas for a general plot line and it's awesome to see that scene explode into something larger than I originally imagined. I can't even begin to fathom what that writing will look like with more practice and hopefully some guidance from a teacher or someone similar.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that writing is my passion. Whether or not I get published, that remains to be seen. Even if I don't get published, I believe that I'll continue to write for my own personal satisfaction. There is always Lulu.com, right?
