When I first started writing my book in June 09 (about 7 months ago) I really thought I would have been further along by now then I am but then again, I am in the final stages of writing my book.
Well, I say that, but am I really? Who knows? That is one of the things I am learning while writing my first novel.
Right now, my editor, @leahdallaire (of 911editing), is going through my full manuscript. So, once she gives it back to me, I may be surprised one way or another by her recommendations on the writing.
However, I have to say (as many writers hopefully will agree), I so LOVE the process of writing. Just like with anything, writing a book is a process and it does take time.
But it is exciting to be a part of the process and then have the realization of the accomplishment or writing. Whoohoo!
So to my fellow writers, don’t stop writing. Keep writing no matter where you are in the process. Yes, it takes time but you are not alone and remember you will be so proud of yourself when you are complete.
Writing is definitely a process but I think you are right – you have to love what you are doing to commit to such a long process from beginning to ‘final’ copy.
Best of luck with your writing.

I thoroughly enjoy your posts, and am going to read more of them over the next few days. I feel as if I’ve been moving at the speed of light and haven’t taken the time to read your informative, nourishing blog.
Thanks for sharing!
