I'm writing a novel.
(This is where you laugh and tell me I'll never finish it. It's okay. I do the same thing.)
Okay. Stop laughing.
Seriously. Stop!
Thank you :)
So anyway, I'm writing a novel. I'm 163 pages into it. This is the furthest I have ever gotten. I've been working on it since June.
I am having writer's block.
I started to re-read what I've written so far.
I want to do a complete re-write.
I don't know. Maybe I'm a little too critical of myself, but parts of the novel are really good, some parts are just "eh" and some parts are bad.
Not that kind of bad! Bad like I had major writer's block and wrote crap to advance the story.
My problem is that I have 4 points: A,B,C and D. I got to point B. I know what points C and D are, but I can't figure out how to get there effectively. AAAHGHHHH!!! This is driving me crazy!
I haven't worked on it for a few weeks, hoping that would help. It did. It helped me right into a re-write of the first 16 chapters. UGH!
Okay, now that I've had my little pity-party I guess it's back to work.

Well, I have taken a lot of writing workshops, and they all say that they wrote 3 or 4 or MORE novels before they had anything they liked. So you're not alone! (if that helps any)
I was going to say it sounds like you have a best seller on your hands. Keep working at it and it will eventually come to you.
I'm writing a novel, too. I've been working on it for four years now, mostly in November during National Novel Writing Month. When I get writer's block, I tend to go off on tangents. Makes for some interesting storylines and usually, they're easy enough to weed out later.
But I will share with you my secret weapon: Postsecret.com. I always find inspiration and giving them secrets gives my characters a little more depth.
that's awesome-!!
i want to write something someday too..
