I’m knee-deep in “Novelist’s Boot Camp” (by Todd A. Stone) at the moment, doing all the pre-writing stuff I never wanted to do before. The author hints at doing push ups if you find yourself at a block or if you complain (even mentally) about writing. I find that I gain my focus back after doing about 25 (girly ones, but push ups, none-the-less). The idea that “you signed up for this” really pushes me to continue writing, even if I don’t want to do something that may or may not contribute to the overall book.

I feel seeing one’s writing in print enhances his/her confidence. Today, after many months, I got my book in which I had done some writing excercises ( which I had wanted to send to print ).
Reading the articles, I really think the press would have welcomed my articles, because it adressed the needs of the time. If only I had sent them to print….!
