raefinlayReviews: 4 yesterday, 1 today. Yay! Almost caught up.
Bugs: Praying mantis on my water faucet. I hadn't realized they could fly...
About to introduce parallel plotline #3, and I'm thinking...am I nuts??? How am I going to keep track of that much stuff? Feeling a bit short on brain cells, humbled by my own limits.
Self-Doubt Monster: You're not smart enough or a good enough writer to tackle this.
Wannabe Writer: But you should at least try! Think about what you'll learn in the process.
SDM: You haven't even published a short story; what makes you think you can tackle an epic novel?
WW: It doesn't matter. I think therefore I write. I breathe therefore I write. I must try, try, try!
*thwaps SDM*
*flicks SDM on forehead*
*stomps on SDM*
*remembers: must resurrect SDM at later date as aid for writing character conflict*
Writing. *sighs*

Date: 2004-09-28 04:52 pm (UTC)Can I make a suggestion? In MOP (an epic also) There are three plotlines going on. Each one is planned out individually in its own timeline and such. That is the only way I have found that helps me keep em all straight. Or did I miss the problem?
You can do it. Don't think less of yourself. You are awsome, most people who 'have a story to tell' never even write ANYTHING down so you are already ahead. Don't give up!
