New found respect

Recently, I got a wild hair and decided to try my hand at writing. OMG! What the H. E. Double hockey sticks was I thinking? I absolutely LOVE to read. I don't mind writing, but I have a problem, other than the fact that I'm not good at it. It's called ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) with SOS (shiny object syndrome). Not a good trait for authors. 

So I planned out this storyline in my head, it was awesome. Then I thought, "outline, I need an outline." So I started that. Before I got that finished, I started thinking about my characters. "Gotta have good strong believable characters or the story is gonna suck." So I thought on that awhile. Then, I had an epiphany about how I wanted to begin the story, so I wrote chapter 1. Needless to say, my story is gonna need a lot of help and TLC.

I found a newfound respect for authors like Jennifer Armentrout who can churn out several awe inspiring books a year. How do you do that? I get on tangents, completely off the subject and have to figure a route back or do some serious editing. 

My characters are very specific in my mind. Their names, however, elude me. For the time being they are named, Hotty and Toddy and everyone else,  until their names come to light.

I'm not quite so patiently biding my time waiting for Saturday. The last book of JLA's covenant series, Sentinel, comes out. So to fill the void, I suppose I'll attempt to repair the damage my tangents have caused my story....... I'll post an update with my review of Sentinel Asap....maybe
