Time to put butt in chair…..

Ok I’ve taken some time off from writing after vacation. Mainly to get my head clear and open to some new ideas. Having now done that I need to sit down and get to writing. My biggest problem is that I never finish anything. I get started and all excited and then I have a bit of trouble, and lose the excitement and stop. My biggest problem is losing the story. I lose where the story and characters are taking me and I’m not sure how to get back on track. I also find that writing a novel is a bit daunting. I know that I should just not look at the big picture but how can I not. Writing your first novel, without having written anything longer than a role-playing adventure, scares the crap out of me. I think what I need to do is reconnect with the story, and just write. Don’t worry about how long it is. Don’t worry about anything but getting the story out. As every writer that I’ve read about or heard interviewed, you need to get your butt in the chair and write. How can you be a writer unless your write? You can’t. Plain and simple. So it is time to do just that. Sit down, butt in chair, and write, write, write.
