Getting Started

        I spent Friday reviewing what I had written over the past few years. The idea I have in my head of what the book will be about is what I had been writing. I would have thought that after all of these years the story would be somewhat different. That doesn't seem to be the case so far. After I got all of my errands and chores done yesterday I picked up where I left off the day before. There is something about writing that takes me to a different place in my mind. I can tune everything out and just focus on the story I am trying to create. There is something so wonderful in creating a story from nothing and shaping and molding it into what you want it to be. Even if I never publish my book, I will be satisfied knowing that I finished something I have wanted to for a long time.
        The hope of course is that one day I will be a published author, but I am taking this one step at a time. The story I am writing is burned into my brain and right know I can't type fast enough to get it all out. At night I wake up with the characters and their monologue in my head. Sometimes I just feel as though I should get up and put it down so as not to forget. Thinking about the time it takes to get out of bad and getting the computer up and running keeps me from doing it. That and knowing that I won't be able to stop at just what I want to get down. Luckily for me it's still there when I finally do sit down. My hope is that I will continue to progress like this and not hit a wall. We'll see!
