When I was in college MANY years ago, I had to write a script for a movie as a final project. These are projects you get as a film major! Ha!
Everyone loved my story line. Several suggested I turn it into a novel. So began my journey of writing a book I titled, "Beyond Desperate." It's a romantic murder mystery type story that sits in my brain and has yet to make it to paper.
Back in October, I stood in the cold waiting for my daughter's Halloween parade to start. A father standing nearby saw me with a book in my hand and started a conversation. He asked if I was an avid reader and what types of books I enjoy. He then suggested a book he thought I might like. He had written the book himself and had it published about a year before.
I was thrilled. We talked about writing and I mentioned that I love to write but that I simply could not seem to get the ball rolling on that novel. He suggested that I set a small goal of writing 500 words a day, every day, even if it's nonsense. Then, eventually, the words will begin to flow.
I have a new goal for this year. I'm going to work on that novel... I'm not sure if it will be the one I originally planned, or something new, or some fun hybrid of old and new ideas... but I'm going to write that novel!!!
HOW NOVEL!
Ok. I'm done. Bye.
