DO NOT LOOK BACK!!! Or start ...Don't look back. DO NOT LOOK BACK!!! Or start at the end... write that first. But whatever you do, promise yourself that it is ok to write shit. All first (and second) drafts are crappy. When you are all done and you go back through, you will pull out what is good and craft it into the story you intended to write. But in the meantime, do not look back.TUChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929114678006935831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389416115041959380.post-9480585612249503372010-01-19T10:09:22.689-08:002010-01-19T10:09:22.689-08:00I have been trying to do that for most of my life....I have been trying to do that for most of my life. I'd win a few awards in high school and some cats in college thought enough of my ability to enlist my help with some assignments. Every now and then in my journal I have a 'spark'.<br /><br />The talent is when you can sustain that spark until it burns as match flame. Then keep the winds from blowing that out and you can set the kindling afire and it burns.<br /><br />Once that happens, who knows how brightly and how big the fire will grow!<br /><br />Your profile pic makes me think of a younger, pouty Madonna... hope you take that as the compliment as it is intended to be!!Big Mark 243https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974573439218884164noreply@blogger.com
