Yes after all this time I've finally did it! I've started writing a book. I've already gotten the title, the dedication page and the first chapter done. But the first chapter was about 4 pages long double spaced. SO what do I do? Single space? Write more words? Well, I set it aside for a day and decided to not actually set any thing into chapters as of yet. I'm just gonna put the words down. If and when I do try to publish it I will then figure out where chapters should be. But as for now I'm busy putting words down. (this is where one would normally say down on paper, but I am using my computer as my hand writing is getting so bad what with the arthritis and I never did have great penmanship.) Not only that but I can use spell check! Then I know for sure that what I want to convey will be correct. I've choosen a subject that I know alot about. At first I wanted to write a western romance book, but then thought I know more about cats than I do about romance.(well,ok not really) So I thought that I would pull all the years of experance of owning cats and put it into a book. I will have "tales" "training" and memories all put down on computer disc and then one day I may turn it into a book.
So be watching the next thing I may tell you is that my book has been published!
OK, when you thank everybody that has inspired you, my name is spelled Galen!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I'm working on my own. I decided that rather than chapters I've really got a bunch of independent stories broken into sections. Sort of like a blog but not free! I started the chapter way and thought...no...I like the separate story method better. I've only got 5 of them completed though; lots to still write. I only write when truly motivated to do so. Good luck on yours!
ReplyDeleteGood for you.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you just keep writing a rough draft and go back later to fill it in all.
