I’m really trying to make a better attempt at writing something everyday. I’ve had the idea for a novel, or rather a trilogy, knocking around in my head for the better part of 10 years I’m abashed to say. Over the years I’ve had a good deal of encouragement and a lot of advice on writing but somehow the motivation always eludes me after a valiant beginning. It’s a daunting task looking at how much I want to convey while remaining original. I feel like no matter what I write, it’s been done before. Is there any plot or character motivation that hasn’t been put into prose? Unlikely. So then is it my goal to do it better? Ha! I find it difficult to live up to my own aspirations of being as prolific as Orson Scott Card or Robert Heinlein. I must start somewhere though. I have dabbled in short stories, and somehow they just seem too short. I start with what seem to be good ideas but somehow it all seems to turn to drivel halfway through. I figured the only cure was to start regimenting myself to write a little each day. Most of it will unlikely be profound but I do want to contribute something beyond just being another blog no one really cares about reading. Perhaps with time that will come but in the mean time you’ll just to suffer through this trite garbage
