October Novel Prep Challenge

"(2) you'll be less likely to lose steam and end up hating your idea later, because you've essentially spent time selling the idea to yourself."

This is an AWESOME point. I've been writing since 5th grade when my talents were "discovered" by my teacher, Mrs. Culpepper, but I always seem to lose interest or get bored or distracted. This idea I am writing has been stuck in my head since high school and I am now 32! I never really thought of having to sell the book to myself. I'm getting more and more excited, realizing I might actually be able to do this!! It seems to be going a lot more smoothly this time around. I guess I just needed a way to organize and get pumped up... kinda like getting a Catahoula hound ready for an obstacle course. Hold back... hold back... hold back!!! JUMP!! Good dog
