It was quite a scary post to write!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08947711142075013900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612606440630784189.post-92227087665996653602012-08-03T10:58:15.833+01:002012-08-03T10:58:15.833+01:00This is so unbearably tough.

Like you, I put my beloved novel aside and ended up writing an easier, now published novel with a character with a similar name. Different genres, different everything, but I felt less treacherous. Now, as you say, the break has done us both good and a lot of writing evolution has occurred. Throw yourself into something else and you will find sweet release!!chillcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360989103518880339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612606440630784189.post-81803978157556348142012-07-26T13:51:22.709+01:002012-07-26T13:51:22.709+01:00Jessica, what a fantastic post.

I would like to thank you for your honesty; it's not often you hear this side of the novel-writing game (because usually it's reflective writing from novelists who've already been published - who cares if they struggled? At least it happened for them!) and I think what you've decided to do has taken balls of steel. I think you should be proud of the intensive work you've put in; I know that you're never short of ideas, and you might end up doing 'book number two' and really cracking it. I have no doubt that you'll get published; maybe now just isn't the right time. Please note that I type this comment as I am 3/4 of the way through my own first novel and am finding it HARD :) R xRay Morgan | Poetryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805593569452355559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612606440630784189.post-84421204064525424042012-07-26T04:51:58.071+01:002012-07-26T04:51:58.071+01:00Hi Jessica.

Your attitude about the whole thing is a big strength. For the sake of full disclosure, I have a novel on the top shelf of my closet in a box. It's there. Yes it is. But I have plans for it. I sure do. This means it will probably see the light of day at some point. Not sure when. Good luck with stitching together the new novel.herocioushttp://theopenend.com/austinnightsbyherocious/noreply@blogger.com
