A good start
I finally finished the sample chapter for my book proposal. Well, finished may be too strong a term. I mean that I wrote the rough draft.
I’ve been struggling with this book idea for awhile. I couldn’t decide what kind of book I should write: the one I wanted to or the one that seem more commercially viable? My writing mentor — a very practical woman — told me to write the one I wanted to write and gave me her blessing. This is a big deal because she’s is nothing if not pragmatic and if she thinks it’s worth it to write what I want, well, maybe I have a shot.
Anyway, the beginnings of the chapter are lying here with a start and a finish and stuff in between. Rewrites are much easier than original writes and I feel relieved to have it done.
Good for you! I’ve been working on a book proposal but don’t have nearly as much done yet.
I’m the opposite though - I find first drafts much easier than rewrites.
Um, it’s not really 3:18 am here either, just thought I’d point that out in case it looks like I’m up at really insane times.
How exciting… it is like the birth of a child. I, however, find that re-writes are extremely difficult and the original is easy to come.
Best Wishes…
