Things get tough in the middle and the end - is really, really, hard.Kerry Schaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821175497518362926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-32821475438776947352011-09-26T19:23:17.599-04:002011-09-26T19:23:17.599-04:00"I understand what I'm afraid of about it..."I understand what I'm afraid of about it."

The process isn't very glamorous for me, and it does have ups and downs.<br /><br />Marissa, I've heard that a lot of writers connect to the beginning part. I'm very jealous! They just scare the hell outta me! ;-)<br /><br />KAK, the end-of-novel throes are never pretty over at my house!Laura Bicklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498043274943334697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-64740221779992140142011-09-26T10:54:51.774-04:002011-09-26T10:54:51.774-04:00"Sometimes, I can be trusted to even put on a...<i>"Sometimes, I can be trusted to even put on a clean T-shirt while typing.

At the start its all new and exciting and I have no idea where it might all end up. By the middle its not as exciting as it was at the start yet I'm not close enough to the end to see the possibility of ever finishing.Marissafarrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409272164117892923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-66795562450369117582011-09-26T10:03:40.906-04:002011-09-26T10:03:40.906-04:00Wonderful post -- very much something all writers ...Wonderful post -- very much something all writers can relate to.
