I am happy to say I am actually getting somewhere with my story. After struggling to even get past a first chapter for many years, I have finally gotten half way through chapter three. My only hope is that I have done a good job with it. I guess I will find out when I finally complete it and begin the gritty task of editing. Wish me luck.

Many authors will tell you, and I agree wholeheartedly, the real writing doesn't even begin until the editing.
Writing *is* revising.
Look forward to the many pleasant surprises which are sure to appear during the "gritty" process.

Good girl. Words on paper are the start. Keep going and keep us posted. We can cheer you along and talk you through the tough times.
Hey, Writerdog, looks like I'm in the same boat with you. I"m starting my first YA also. Happy writing!!!
