And when you're writing and you're seeing everything actually come together under your fingers. I love that, too! It's totally worth it.<br /><br />Congratulations on the book, I haven't read it yet, but I've heard good things!<br /><br />BTW, I didn't know you were from Kentucky! (Until recently, obviously.) I grew up in the Newport/Bellevue/Dayton area (Basically, all over Northern K) and some of my family still lives there.<br /><br />@Ryan - You will, just keep writing! :-D I like to sing that to the tune of "just keep swimming" from Finding Nemo. ;-) Good luck, and keep at it!Marion Sipehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13018535641577067069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343732055246275702.post-43037586219177818392011-06-19T04:25:49.804-05:002011-06-19T04:25:49.804-05:00Like Mysti, I always tell myself that my goal is &...Like Mysti, I always tell myself that my goal is "to actually have written an entire novel, have it published and had people really enjoy reading it". <br /><br />I'm not there yet . . . and I haven't written properly for half a month, but I keep coming back to this one, and I swear I'll get there someday.<br /><br />Soon.Ryan Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11093880801598251933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343732055246275702.post-7025953819765071922011-06-18T22:57:38.573-05:002011-06-18T22:57:38.573-05:00To actually have written an entire novel, have it ...To actually have written an entire novel, have it published and had people really enjoy reading it!<br /><br />That's what made me realize I'm actually a writer. I'll always be child of God, wife and mom before anything else, but writing makes me feel like me. <br /><br />And when I get those "aha" moments after I've banged my head against the wall trying to overcome plot snags, boy does that feel good! <br /><br />One of my critique partners has a tagline--successful writers write, so consider yourself a success today. It's doing it and enjoying the outcome (not always the frustration), but like everything else worth doing, it takes work. And it's worth it.Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147640629724678243noreply@blogger.com
