One of the major problems I have with writing is my mind is constantly spinning in multiple directions which is something I need to get under control if I want to be able to finish my novel. The other thing I want to be able to do is create something different. I want my concept to be fresh not just a different spin on what is out there already.
Writing isn't complicated but it can be tough when you want your characters to stand out and not blend into the mundane. I am working to create a character that when I write his or her voice is heard very clearly. I think about the nights when I can't sleep and how that is when something is speaking to me loudly.
This part of me is just another creative craft that I want to perfect like everything else I do. I am waiting to see what develops. Right now I am working on my outline but the main character's name really wasn't talking to me until recently. I may have a winner without being repetitious. I can only see what happens and how the story makes its way onto the screen.

Challenges!
I have a new challenge laid out before me. I never really thought about writing articles but it would be something that will help me in my research skills and presentation. Right now just trying to pull a few topics together has been a challenge and I just got started.
Am I looking forward to doing something different and outside of my normal scope of things? My answer is absolutely. There is nothing like finding a new avenue to get your writing off the ground and make it more than just something you dream about.
One of my biggest fears is my writing lacking all the qualities I look for in a good read. Then I suppose that could be a lot of writers fear. I read and sometimes I wonder what some people are really doing with this because their writing lacks depth and true vision. I don't want to be someone like that. I want to have something that when a reader or potential reader picks it up they will go purchase it and delve into the story. I want my readers to get lost and share the emotions.
I want to push myself and I hope that others will come along and see me pushing. I want those that support me to be truthful and honest about what they see in my writing. I don't just want the good accolades that come with perfecting my craft. I want the hard hitting truth because if something needs to be changed then I as a writer want to open myself up to recognizing those changes.
