Stuck

I have been working on chapter four now for two months. It's funny how I was able to write two chapters in a week and now it is coming slower and slower. I've taken a friend's advice and write something everyday no matter how crappy it is. He told me once you start writing, the danger starts and you find that the worst thing happens: YOU STOP WRITING! I've been reading a lot and revisiting some of my favorite authors and books. I've been paying attention to the little things that made me fall in love with a particular book or character or author. I'm hoping to find my voice in all of this. I know I have lots of things I want to say but am missing the confidence. Wow! I think I just gave myself an idea...

Writer's Block

I finally finished Chapter 3. I wrote it five times and am almost completely happy with it. Thanks for all who have given me feedback on Literotica. I'm trying not to map out the entire story. I don't know how authors can write 5 set volumes then say "Oh, I had the entire story mapped out in my head 10 years ago!" Can't stand those writers. I like waking up in the morning and going to sleep at night not knowing what is going to happen next to my characters. It's the agony and the ecstasy and I love it! Masochist? What can I say? TTFN
