Over a year later

Well, it's been over a year since I said that I would have written a book by now so you can say that I failed. However I do not believe I did. You can say I haven't written a book which is true but I could have, it just would have sucked and even I wouldn't try and self publish. No, I have learnt so many things that no one can teach you, things I had to learn on my own. I'm sure people tell you these things over and over but it's something you have to learn yourself.

There are a couple of things that stand out:
1. You can't rush the process. You may want to write and you may be brilliant but you cannot rush. You see the ultimate outcome and forget the hills you may have to take to get you there. The process is the reason of greatness.
2. You can't just have a little information and begin to write, you need to have a good foundation of your characters and their story before you actually begin telling it.
3. Taking longer is better than shorter. Take your time.
4. Mind maps
5. Think about what your goal really is because that will help you with how much time you spend in the before stage, it'll also keep you grounded.

Well there is my update so far... I think 2 more years should do it.

P.s. I have thought many times about why I write this and I realize that if I ever get published I want my fans to find this blog so they can see the process. What fun!
