To Write a Novel

I write this in honor of all those who are taking part of NaMoWriMo.

It's really not easy writing a novel. You think as long as you have a good idea, you can write it down into a piece of literature that will bring each and every reader to their knees in awe.

Unfortunately that is really not an easy thing to do. As you write you suddenly become very aware of your inabilities as a writer. If it's in first person narrative, you're suddenly aware of how many times you write the word "I". You suddenly start counting every comma you use, paniced at the idea that you're not being grammatically correct. You find you suck at writing the part inbetween main scenes and your dialouge is forced. You end up curled on the floor in the fetal position.

Or maybe thats just me.


Anyway, I salute you who attempt NaNoWriMo! You are brave brave souls.
