sapling - a photo on Flickriver

sapling

If there is one visual that could represent the novel I'm writing, it would be this. I've been learning so much about story recently and had to come to terms with the fact that I don't know how to write a book. I wrote one, and I put "the end" on it, but it wasn't finished. It wasn't whole in any way. It was lacking, well, almost everything a novel needs to feel satisfying. But I never give up on my dreams, ever. I never let them fall away because I'm not good enough or I don't know enough or I feel inadequate. I've been reading and taking notes and studying every single day for at least 30 minutes (and dedicating every Wednesday to that end entirely). What I have learned has been tremendous, and I am energized and excited to write the book I've always dreamed of as it should be - poignant, powerful, and filled with creepy fairytale vibes.

Don't give up on what you love most, or what you want. If it doesn't work out the first time - GOOD. You are growing, as you should be. If it is easy, it is rarely worth it. We grow in our craft because we pursue things that are out of reach. I fear resting gently on what is mediocre. I'm not saying I am seeking perfection - far from it. I am seeking to be better than I was before. A constant series of rebirths that lead to work I am proud of, and a life I truly want to live.
