I am in the process of writing my first novel, one based in urban fantasy. I am excited about it, but worried at the same time. Afraid I am no where as good as I hope I am, and that I will just give up because it isn't going the way I want it to.
I have it all in my head, but getting it out of my head and onto the computer/paper is not working very well. Times like these I wish the invention that Bobbi Anderson made in 'Tommyknockers' was real. You know the one that wrote for her from her mind while she slept?
I try to write at least a few words a night, before bed, even if it is only a paragraph or two, just so that I have something coming out and into the light. I am not even putting in details or anything right now, just the basic storyline so I can get it out and then work on the details and continuity later.
I don't want to give up, and I want to be good.
