It's been awhile because I took some time off because I have had tennis elbow and I figured I'd better give it a rest. As you can tell from the title of this post, I like Stephen King's book On Writing. I haven't liked much else of his, though, because I'm just not into it. To each his own. I am also busy taking a class in counseling right now and learning about ethics and stuff... it has really re-vitalized me!
But back to writing. I've set myself a goal of having a publishable manuscript by end of December 2009, but I'm not sure how to get there with a child, trying to get pregnant, going to college part time, and working full time.
But I've got about 50 thousand words. I've cut out about 10 K words to get down to what is really important. I've also eliminated a few extra characters to center in on the important characters and ideas. So I have to figure out how to meet the goal. Guess it's like getting a PhD part time: the way you eat an elephant is one piece at a time... perseverance is important...
