"Having imagination, it takes you an hour to write a paragraph that, if you were unimaginative, would take you only a minute. Or you might not write the paragraph at all." ~Franklin P. Adams, Half a Loaf, 1927
I'm writing the paragraph.
I'm starting a book.
"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt." ~Sylvia Plath

Carin,if anyone can do it, it would be YOU! You have such a way w/words! :o)

You continually inspire me to step outside my comfort zone. I so love you.
"A novel is often a longer process in handling self-doubt."
Robert Sheckley
I don't want to sound weird but, what a growth opportunity for you!!! I'm so excited for you...what must be going on in your head...incredible.
still thinking about you this morning...your bravery..
Oh Carin! I applaud your new adventure. I'm so thrilled for you!! Take your time and enjoy the process.
really...
i think that is super!
i am intrigued... in a big way!
i hope you share more.
may blessings overflow... be bold in their offering!
love...
Yay for bravery, i can't wait to read!
Good for you! : )
It starts with the first sentence...many more will follow...here's to the process.
How wonderful and best of luck. My little black composition book is filled with my to do list -- I wish it was filled with creative ideas.
Cjs you must read Stephen King's, "On Writing" - I think I have it, and I'll load it to you...so good. Also, I remember uncle lyn telling me about this mom who wrote an entire book just by locking herself into her bedroom closet for 15 minutes a day. She was entirely focused for those 15 minutes and did it little by little. Just write a little every day - whether it's good or bad, just get it all out and edit later. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
um, I mean "loan" - I must have a cold or subthig.
That's so funny that Heather wrote that! I just told you about that book!!! I have it too if you want it. I know you will write this book, and I know it will be a success!
