Edit, Edit

I have been hard at work "In my mind anyway". I have been writing a new short story which I promised myself I wouldn't edit till I got the first draft done. Dear oh dear edit, edit. Still I'm pursuing my writing dreams buying books buying online courses and watching you tube. The amount of stuff that goes into writing is incredible I'm forever learning something new this brings me back nicely to my first point editing. I realise how important that first draft is to finnish, only then can you see the whole to edit the whole piece. This I have decided is my new goal to finnish the first draft screenplay, short-story whatever.

Learning

Schedule that's what I need, so I have set myself the goal of getting up about five in the morning.

I don't start work till 10am so have around three or four hours to create something.

I Finnish work at six pm and still do about an hour on my writing, but find early morning definitely suits me more.

Watching YouTube videos and reading still takes a lot of my time up, but I still get something down on paper or one of my many apps.

I discovered an interesting tip on You Tube that said you should try and get rejected as much as possible in sending off your stories, as this will eventually get you more published work.

Also it will train you in seeing what publishers are actually looking for, so youadjust your work accordingly.

I'm also taking a short course on grammar just to refresh what I have forgotten.

The story begins to unfold

So I begin....I begin with the thought what story's, do I like.

Giants, "yes" that's it when I was a kid they use to have 50s sci-fi on. Giant ants really caught my attention. Wasps,bees,dragonflies which to choose and which should I pick Novel, Short story, Micro fiction. I believe we should try all these options they are all valid ways to get our thoughts across. Also it's about learning I believe me doing microfiction has helped me to do short story's and maybe give me a boost to starting a novel. There's so much to learn but it's great the research, overcoming problems, the look on someone's face when they realise you might just be a writer after all. I still lack confidence but I'm getting there what a great journey we are all on and may we always enjoy it.

Finally starting to write ✍

So I begin this journey with an explanation of the cover picture. Like the moon our writing goals can seem so far away, we begin with great expectations and slowly get ground down with life experiences. Take me for example my first true work of fiction was when I was twelve years old. I had wrote a eighty-five page story of a spy, at the time there was an excitement a real heartfelt moment that I had achieved my master piece. I look back now and smile because obviously it was probably unreadable, spelling mistakes punctuation errors,which I still make today. The thing is that excitement that feeling is so hard to get back once your out in the real world you just get on with living and everything you wanted to do takes second place. I got back into writing because one;I really did want to do it at some point and 2; the range of apps, online help, videos is immense.

I can't believe how you are all of a sudden drawn back into doing something like drawing writing or whatever as taken your fancy again.

I suppose its because the ideas have built up over the years and now it's time for them to come to fruition.

And it's wonderful like a new lease of life a chance to finally fulfil a dream, long live this moment and hopefully there will be books galore at the end.
