Keeping The Faith

This writing of the first novel thing is no joke. It's not easy. In fact, it's downright difficult at times. Writing every day requires a lot of discipline. I have missed a few days recently, but I'm determined to keep at it, even though I may not be able to write every single day consecutively. As they say, in writing, keeping a regular schedule is very important. Setting and achieving small goals is a great way to ensure timely completion and reinforce one's resolve to finish. I very much want to tell this story, and I will. It isn't since my last real short film project that I have felt so strongly about something.

Completing my first novel by the end of the year is a reasonable goal (skeptics feel free to chime in here). It presents me with a challenge, but it is a reachable goal as opposed to one that is too far-fetched. I'm really excited at the thought of publishing my first novel, and I feel really motivated to get it done. I know it won't be perfect, but I'll get it done and move on to the next book in the series.

I don't put a lot of stock in religion, but faith has undoubtedly a power to move mountains. And so, I continue my journey. No matter how overwhelmed or discouraged I might feel, I'll surely keep the faith and trek on.

Happy writing...
