Facing the Dragon

Writers write, right? I'm either reading about writing, thinking about writing, dreaming about writing or reading someone else's writing. Tonight at Alice Osborn's creative journaling workshop, Alice spoke of "facing the dragon," facing our writing fears. This leaves me to ponder my own writing dilemma on not writing. Tonight I mustered a couple of draft poems and several pages of writing ideas to help me say exactly what it is that this muse of mine insists that I say. Now, I need to determine exactly what that is.

Hello fellow writer. I'm frustrated with the slow process of trying to finish a novel. After the third and fourth revision, the editing becomes tedious. I'll be glad when it's ready to send to an agent. If I had six weeks free, I'd take my lap top and hide in a cabin deep in the woods. Then I'd type frantically until it was done.

Hi Sherry,
Thanks so much for mentioning my Journaling Class! I hope the class gives you the quiet space and time to get started on some ideas!

cheers,
