Dawn Groves Land

So I contacted Lorna and we have resumed our text message meetings. We write for 1/2 hour and then share word counts. It’s silly but the meetings keep me honest.

Our first was yesterday. And OUCH, I remembered why I’ve been avoiding this for a few months. Writing SUCKS.

I’ve written several books. I’m a pretty fair writer. I know what it takes to get something produced and published. You’d think that I could flush out some copy without feeling like a big fake.

Not so. Oh well.

At one point in my life, I decided that my purpose on this Earth was to be an example of someone who feels all the fear, insecurity, dorkiness, and ambivalence that everyone else feels, but who goes for it anyway.

So what if writing is hard? Everything easy was once hard. I can do hard.

Next week I’ll slap out a rough outline for my upcoming NaNo 50K push.

Onward. -Dawn
