Finish my books

I have been writing poetry, children’s books, and began a few novels in the last few years. I would like to complete these projects, but find myself putting them off. My degree was not in writing, however, I wrote in every class! ☺ I am attempting to sign myself up in an online writing class, but find myself always putting this goal last. I am finding inspiration in this writing and am very excited!

I always start projects that I am never able to finish so I completely feel your pain! I have a book that I've written in high school, and have really not edited or looked into publishing it. Every year I go back and read it and know that I can get it publish if I work towards it, yet college, work and family always seem to get in the way. But a writing class sounds like just the thing you need to push you towards accomplishing your goals. While it is not an excuse, if I didn't already have to write so much for my classes, I might actually put more effort into writing for myself!

I totally understand! I have my degree and don’t plan on going further. So now is my time!! There’s a season for everything and yours will come! There are publishing classes too if you need guidance for that. To be that confidant that you could get published!! I hope I have that much confidence!!

I hear you, bjfdaisy72. I can’t tell you how many times I've started my “novel” only to put it away after the first 10,000 words. I have the time to finish it, but seem to always lose steam. An online writing class or circle is a wonderful idea. I could really use the support and feedback, and the extra push to help me reach certain milestones. By the way, I’m rooting for you, bjfdaisy72! You can do it!
