Not Good Enough – Angst This month:

Eloquence.  Flow.  Structure.  Making Sense.   Why can’t we all just sit down and write books like our favorite authors? After all, we have all read all our lives and most writers are voracious readers.  I am.

 

Getting a finished product that you can be proud of, not so easy.  Really gives you a lot of respect for those that do.  Writing is hard and scary. Things were a lot easier when I just played at it, but I don’t want to do that anymore.

 

Sometimes I think I wrote better when I was playing. I forgot everything I know when I stopped writing for play, or feels like it.  I know I wrote more words in play than I do now.   I have one Star Wars role play document that is way over 80,000 words.  @@
