Day 2 - The writing begins

It gets to that time of night where my eye lids start to gather weight and my body tells me that soon I should put a stop to trying to fight the sleep and just give in. It's at this time of night I think that I should write something. And one day I think I'm going to realise that this is the most stupid idea ever but I don't want to realise that just yet...

My 233 words look small and scrappy but everyone says the first draft sucks...right? I am too much of a perfectionist and I can not go on without scrapping something and starting again. It's ridiculous and I need to stop. The sad thing is that the "perfectionist" part of me only comes out in my writing of stories. Dang. So at 9:16 I stop after my one paragraph of writing and see that now I am past one page and my word count is now 929. So I decided that I shall not scrap anything and just not look over it until I have finished.

Tomorrow I start UNI (or College) for a BA in english and I'm kind of getting excited. Although it's another bunch of work that I have to do, I'm learning something that I feel is going to help me. So that one day I'll look over something like this and wonder how I was such a bad writer.

It's late, I'm tired and I haven't woken up without an alarm for 4 days and I would like a normal sleep. Until tomorrow.

364 Day.

Ths start: Day 1

365 days will end in a book. A first draft at the very least but a book nonetheless. They say for first time writers its takes about two years year but there is always an exception to the rule, always. And that, my friends, is me. I shall do the impossible and write a book that is publish worthy and at the end of a year and submit it to a publisher.

365 days = 1 book.

Weekends are off if I so wish but everyday I must write something. This blog shall help me to do it. I am going to write down my struggles and when I feel I can't see the end. I shall do this not only because no one thinks a 16 year old drop out can write a book but because I want to write one and what better way than to have a blog? So it is officially the first day and what I write shall be the start. The first draft... Here I come.

My two blogs are dead, my journals are dead, so this will be a challenge, can I actually finish something? You want to know what makes this even more appealing? It's the people who think it's impossible and the people who don't believe in me that I want to do this for, and myself of course, but what I would love most would be to stuff it in one of the non believers face and show them that I, a homeschool/school drop out of only 16 can write a book and get it published. Who said that writing a book in 365 days at 16 is impossible, I certainly don't.

Just you wait big bad world...because here comes your worst nightmare...me.
