I wish I found the novel writing easier too.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338896212556894322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-36209559382550753532007-05-22T09:20:00.000-07:002007-05-22T09:20:00.000-07:00Although I am scared with my novel, I find it easi...Although I am scared with my novel, I find it easier to sit down and write that than I do my non-fiction work. My ambition is to write feature articles as well as get my fictional writing published. I do have a plan of action and lots of themes and ideas but the feature writing work always gets sidelined because it is more immediate. i.e it could get rejected sooner. Your post struck me as even now I am sitting at the computer debating whether to write an article, but I can't. I am mentally paralysed.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315275929031953790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-56757166556027748492007-05-21T11:02:00.000-07:002007-05-21T11:02:00.000-07:00Holler, thank you for your very kind comments abou...Holler, thank you for your very kind comments about my writing, which were very uplifting!<BR/><BR/>Alfaking, the trick is figuring out how to do that, but I'm working on it.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338896212556894322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-90591738122780052602007-05-20T11:31:00.000-07:002007-05-20T11:31:00.000-07:00The "writing fear" and the mental blocks are what ...The "writing fear" and the mental blocks are what I'd call negative emotions. Turn these into positive ones. <BR/><BR/>Remove the fear and put yourself in peace and calmness. Remove the blocks and replace by empowering thoughts. <BR/><BR/>Reprogramme your writing/submission so that it works for you rather than against you.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link back. <BR/><BR/>Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-1038085239545627812007-05-18T17:04:00.000-07:002007-05-18T17:04:00.000-07:00God, yes, both of you keep going!

I don't think I match up, and I'm afraid that people aren't going to think I'm good enough. But the thought of not finishing my novel is worse to me, after I've told so many people. I feel like I'd be letting them down if I don't finish it, even if it wasn't as good as I'd hoped.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712024237175327405noreply@blogger.com
