Delusions of Writing
So I've been thinking about writing something longer than a poem for the past several years, but never got serious about it because I could never get my thoughts organized into a decent plot. Until a couple of days ago, anyway. It turns out that my aunt has been thinking about a story line for a few years and finally decided to write out a bare bones outline. I've been drafted to actually fill out the story and turn it into a full-length novel, and between the two of us, we think we have the makings of a decent book. Maybe having it be a team effort instead of a solo enterprise was just the sort of kick-in-the-pants we both needed to get something down on paper (or in digital, as the case may be). Surprisingly, I've written six pages so far, and I think I might be able to give this a shot. We figure it'll take at least a year, but for some reason, that kind of project commitment isn't giving me the heebie-jeebies that you might expect. Wish us luck (we'll need it)! Hopefully you'll be seeing it all in print in the not-too-distant future!

That is awesome! I can't wait to hear more.
Good luck - I am excited for you. I can barely think of something to write on my blog - which is surprising considering I can't stop talking.
