Re: Having problems
i started writing when i was about five. wrote a book about Abraham Lincoln. wasn't a long book. two pages. maybe about five words in the whole thing, and was illustrated. Abe looked kind of the same in all the crayon illustrations at the top of the pages and in the margins...a stick figure wearing a tall hat. but sometimes he'd smile. sometimes he'd frown. sometimes he was riding a stick horse, etc. it didn't really look like a horse at all, but anyway, i kind of quit the whole mostly heartbreaking writing thing for years after nothing came of any of that. i couldn't believe it. i got back into the writing again years later...not sure why. just crazy i guess. i put the whole Abraham Lincoln book mess behind me and finally moved on.
don't set a timer. keep at it. good luck!
