I know no one comes here anymore, but I don't write for others. I'm struggling with my novel. More like I'm struggling with what to write. I've had a story that I've molded in mind for over 30 years. Trouble is I'm not sure I want to write it now. It is a good story, I think, but not something I can write and make a living at. Which is what I want to do, be a writer. It's what I loved as a kid, adult, always. I've written poems (some really great ones!) and short stories for recreation and school. But I want to be a novelist. I don't care if I make 6 figures or not, I just want to do something I really love. But I can't decide what to write about. I'm just so afraid to fail and not get what I want most. It sucks trying to start a new career at age 43.
Oh and one more thing. I love my wife more now then ever. We have endured HORRIBLE times together, but we are still in love. Still in lust. Still best friends. Life is good.
Tell someone you love that you do.
CCB OUT!
