I want to apologize for my being tardy on my posts no excuse I just procrastinated. I am writing again using Nanowrimo.com Which stands for national novel writing month. You write 60,000 words  in one month. Well if I had written nineteen hundred words last night I would be up on my count but I didn't so I am looking at about three thousand the next two days. I an also starting to draw character concepts and fleshing out my world as well.

My antagonists to this are called Televison and Movies. They eat up so much of my time I need for writing. I have actually been fighting depression these last few months which let up when I started writing, so what does that tell you?

If you have a passion to write I really suggest checking out Nanowrimo.com, its a good tool and please use common sense if you finish a novel there. You need to edit. I repeat you need to edit your work. If hiring an editor is too expensive join a writing group on line that can help you out and give you feed back. Read how to write novels books. I heard Stephen Kings is really good.

I suggest not hanging on the word of any writer in these websites but look for the common things groups of writers are telling you. Every writer has his own opinion but some of us are more mature than others. If you have one person telling you your protagonist is weak it may just be his opinion but if you have a group of writers telling you your protagonist is weak and you have a lot of passive sentences you may want to go back and look at your work.

Most importantly if you have edited your work, rewritten it and had several people look over your work  with a fine tooth comb a few times it may be time to submit your work. I can't say there is any catch all on this Dune was submitted and rejected like twelve times. Harry Potter(whether you like this authors work or not.) was submitted twenty-nine times before it was published.

Publishing is the hardest part about writing. There are plenty of books out on this and blog sites. I will post two of them I really like if anyone is interested. The most important thing I can say with confidence is DON"T tell anyone the work you published came from Nanowrimo.com I can promise you nine out of ten or ten out of ten editors will throw away your work or send it back right there.

Here's why, so many young writers and aspiring authors get really excited and whether they don't read Nanowrimo.com Pep talks about editing their works before sending them in or whether they just ignore it editors have received some really atrocious and I'm guessing unedited work. I'd like to take this time to inform you or remind you that the writing business is professional and they expect your work to be professional also.

One of the biggest surprises I discovered in writing is that it really is a lot of work. So if you want to write guess what? You have to put in the work. I have to say I haven't published anything as of yet, but I am working towards that end so lets you and I get busy and  as Winston Churchill said,"All I have to offer
