I can feel it...


The last few days I haven't been working on my book Symbiose. I was so busy with my school, that I had a hard time to find space for ideas. Even to think about the book. But this week is finished and the weekend just began. I will try my hardest. My goal to finish this book was the end of this year. I wrote already in my other post that I know I can't keep up with this goal. I can try to come as close as possible. The most important thing I learned this week is, write. If I don't write I will forget. Not my notes, I always write my ideas in my cell phone and work on them later. But I mean the real writing. Thinking about getting published was this week such a big subject for me that I almost forgot, that I will never get published, if I don't finish. So why even think about this step? I am not close enough to do that. Or maybe I am. You never know. It could be that my last steps are so close, even if I don't see it yet. But still, the goal right now is to finish, not publishing. In this new world there are so many possibilities to be noticed. Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, good read, all this things you can use to be famous. There is always advice how to do it better, how to contact people who could be interested in your product and all this things. It is good, I have to be honest. I am so grateful for that. But what really matters is that you first finish. When my book is finally online in Amazon and all the other WebPages, I can still search for the readers. Not now. My book is not a fan fiction, where the people are not interested first in publishing. They just want to finish the beloved story in their head. So yes, of course, if that would be my interested, I could use this way to be more popular. But I want that people start writing fan fictions of my books. Because I think there is a lot of potential in it. I mean it is like always in these teenie-books. Girl loves boy, boy loves girl, something is going terrible wrong and they have to figure out, how to do that. Bla Bla. But the way the characters are, is the key. I mean, today I got a good day, that is why I love my story right now, but it is not always like that. I also have a lot of shity days, where I think, WHAT THE F****. Why did you even start this? I was never a person who started something and didn't do the best I could to finish. So on those days I wish sometimes I would be a quitter. Then the next day starts and I realize, how great this kind of Hobby (that is, what it is right now) is. I wish one day of course to get published and I don't have to work anymore, but that is to far always and like i said it. I have no time for my daydream. Only and that is probably not the most time the chase, it helps a writer to get inspirited.

That was my thought for the last week. I just realized that my title actually has nothing to do, what I just wrote, but it doesn't matter. I actually wanted to write about the progress of the book. Because even if I didn't do much, I can feel that I am coming closer. There are only two more chapters there are not in the I-perspective is and + that four more chapters that I have not revised, since Youna knows already from the almost beginning what Logan is. So I have still a lot to do, but a lot is also done. What helps me is music. So if you are also new in this writing thing and you get no more ideas or you just can’t feel what your characters should feel, listen to music that gives you are similar feeling. Good luck to all of you. It’s a new day and it’s today also great to be a writer.
