So back to basics, what this blog is really about. Rediscovering my writing... that's it, basically, and if that bores you, I am extremely sorry. But then I can't imagine the first things Stephen King, or Anne Rice ever put down on paper where very interesting, so bare with me here, It might get interesting at some point, especially if I really get going on my novel idea, its not great so far, I should probably post a bit of it on here just for sh*ts and giggles. But first before all that, I have acquired myself a wonderful tool to help me all along the way of writing and publishing:
This book is amazing! I love it, and to think I almost came home with a different book, I was out with my Mom for a day on the town and we were at the book store and I came across this and another title about writing and publishing. I initially purchased the other book, but while I sat in the car after dropping my Mom at the front of the craft store, I flipped through the other book. I quickly realized it was a bit outdated and not what I was looking for, it was only about publishing, and I wanted something more about crafting my writing and the best way to put together a story. So long story short, we slipped back over to the bookstore swapped the two out, then had a very nice lunch at Red Lobster, and I had one of the best days off I have had in a long time. So in conclusion, I plan to read this book cover to cover, and re-craft what I have so far of my sci-fi novel, yes I know, sci-fi I'm, either a geek or everyone and their brother starts with sci-fi but I like to think I have a good idea for a story. Anyway its all down in a notebook on paper, so some tweaking is needed to be done.
That aside, as I work on that, I really would like to learn how to get into the writing business. It can't be too hard, I hope.... anyway any advice would be much appreciated, making a living wiring is my dream, and to be able to write for a newspaper, or online journal, or magazine, would be amazing, publishing my first book, now that would be downright magical!!!! That being said, we'll see what happens, and I will dedicate myself, when I'm not at the vet clinic working my butt off for no credit...., to furthering my writing career, because that is my real dream, even if none of them at the clinic no that, they all still think I want to be a vet tech. Not so much, writing makes me much happier and more relaxed. So as my last thoughts before I go read some of my novel writing handbook before bed, I want to say, I will do this, I can do this, and I won't give up my dream of one day being published in some form or another!!! :-) I can't ever remember a time where someone had to force me to write something, on tests, research papers, creative writing assignments, I have never, ever had a problem putting words on paper, so maybe just maybe, this is my calling, to bring joy, thoughtfulness, and feeling to people through words. Hmmm I like that, sounds like my mission statement or something. haha. With that last musing, I shall sign off for the night, good night all, until next time ta ta for now. :-)
