Just about everyone tells me they have a book in them but it's rare for most to get beyond that point. Anyone who completes a whole manuscript should pat themselves on the back. Whether it's the next great American novel or "just" a book, the fact that someone gets that far is noteworthy.<br />Why do we write? For me, it's something I have to do. I see the world as a writer. I find myself narrating my life to myself sometimes. Maybe that's a form of insanity. But I tried not writing and wasn't happy. I have to write. Some days it may just be a blog entry but at least it's something.<br />And I read. Every day. Yes, that book [The Help] made me wish I was a better writer. It certainly gave me the drive to want to be better. To try harder. And to get back at the keyboard and write more.Joy Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11420607137161293401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422983897713906924.post-46442612938682164532010-04-15T06:37:00.866-07:002010-04-15T06:37:00.866-07:00Thanks.

Millions of people start writing a novel and never get it finished. Millions of people say they have thought about writing and never begin.<br /><br />So to those of you who write, I applaude you.Nadine Lamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709289434339532281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422983897713906924.post-41436016338626283822010-04-15T03:33:01.891-07:002010-04-15T03:33:01.891-07:00NIce article .....................
