Yes, today I kick off my big huge (not so huge) second novel! The first, before you ask, has not been published, nor will I be talking about it here. I have started this journal to try and keep me focused on the task at hand. I am starting this novel not for money, nor fame, nor face, just because I have not really written anything original in a while, and I feel that writing this novel will be very fulfilling and infinitely more enjoyable than just sitting at the computer, wishing I were writing it. Yes, I am dedicated to the art of literature, though I have been slacking lately, I have been writing for more than half of my life, since I was 9 years old I wrote little small stories, bigger stories, and terrible stories, but terrible stories are those that you can learn from in a good sense. They set the boundaries backwards so you don't step back toward it, it only gives you incentive to set the experience forward. Or at least it should. If you sit around asking yourself why you made this happen or this or this, then you are obviously not really cut out for this, any good writer would know how to get his red marker out and give it a good EDITING PROCESS just to get the kinks and bugs out of it.
I don't know if anyone will actually be reading this, but I know I'm going to enjoy writing for it.
