Chapter 1

I've written the first two paragraphs of it twice.  Knowing the story you want to tell and even memorizing a few lines to use on what will probably be chapter 31, but not being able to get past the first bit is so frustrating.  It's probably because I've not been writing much else, other than operations policies at work.  And let me tell you, that is GREAT practice for fiction.  :-)

I think I've decided to set aside my Sundays for God and writing.  I know that this will not always be consistent, since there are weekends I will need to travel and so on, but this is my goal.  I'm still trying to get past my exhaustion at the end of the day during the weeks to really get going on writing.  I'm the type of person who has to sit down and write as much as possible before losing my spot/inspiration, so setting a huge chunk of time aside for me to do this should be a big help. 

So Church, then writing, then writer's group (when we can), then more writing.  I'm excited just thinking about it!

Speaking of which, the only member of my writing "group" that I've met so far, Anne Riley, has an awesome series on her blog about the beginning of her writing journey.  It's been wonderful and encouraging to follow!  You can read it here: http://annerileybooks.com/blog/
