Determined to stick to my goal of
writing each day, it has been interesting to see where it has taken me. Since
the start of the year, I’m pleased to say that so far I have stuck to my goal
and hope to continue to do so. By giving myself small projects to focus on,
such as writing competitions and the Lent challenge, I’m not only writing, but
I’ve picked up my novel again, which is very exciting. After the initial spark
and hurried scribbling, I felt it had petered off and I had become stuck. So I
did what I thought was best and put to one side, instead concentrating on other
projects. Along the way I’ve been thinking a lot about my novel and to help me,
I’ve decided to go back to basics. First, creating a visual board of notes and
pictures and then relooking at what I’d already done- editing parts and making
notes along the way. Although I’ve yet to sit down and actually carry on from
where I left off, I feel like I’ve come a long way and am amazed at how much
it’s evolved from my original idea. I have a lot to work on and look forward
to. So it just goes to show that by sticking to my small goal of a little each
day, I’ve rediscovered my love of writing and my novel and I can’t wait to get
going each day!
