First Post

Bear with my while I dig up my old html skills. It's been a while.

This blog was created after much enthusiastic prodding by a close friend. The purpose is so that we may connect with other aspiring (or published) authors while we each struggle through our own first novels. Writing is what brought us together but friendship and understanding is what's kept us close- and perhaps the creation of this blog will be the catalyst for more miracles.

I have no hopes or goals for this, other than using it as a place to ramble through sticky plot-holes or writer's cramps. If you believe in such a thing.

Writing has enriched my life in ways I'd never thought possible.

I've devoured many books on How to Write and one of the most inspiring for me is written by Anne Lamott: Bird by Bird. She writes that you must trust yourself, and your character- your story- enough to just let go and write what wants to be written. She akins it to riding in the woods and letting the horse find the way home, and I've never found a more lovely analogy. I keep it with me all the time, remembering it, using it as a touchstone when my struggles deepen. Trust your unconsciousness, your intuition, and you will never be left in the dark.

Enjoy what little words of wisdom may slip out, as this blog is not meant to be anything other than a silent confidant, a place to both rant and celebrate as I navigate the long, dark road of novel writing.
Til next time,
emily
