Calling all writers...

Does every person dream of writing the next "BIG" novel that will storm the public, fly off shelves and make a million? Am I only average to dream that dream of creating a super novel? eh, who knows....or cares....story ideas come and go and usually after I've revisited and reviewed the idea I discount myself and rip up the creation. Is that bad?

  1. i am happy to see that you are back. i think that you should make a rule that you cant rip it up for at least a year. what if tolstoy had done it? write it down even if it is where nobody can find it. i have done the same thing as you are saying. maybe i should take my own advice but its so hard isnt it?

  2. yes, it is. I get very little time to myself to be truly "dedicated" to my craft of hobby writing (is there such a thing?) and yet when I do write, I tend to delete it. Stuff of nonsense this deleting all the time. why bother writing if I'm just going to...delete
