Onto Chapter Seven....

It feels really great to be able to say that I'm not on chapter seven of my novel. Things are progressing rather well but of course, we'll see how I feel about that once I'm on the rewrite stage.

My characters are also progressing and hopefully they are standing out on their own. I like to develop strong characters that people either love or hate. There should be no in between. Their emotions should be felt by the reader. Their anger, sadness, love, betrayal....everything. Writing holds no boundaries. I'm just going for it.

I was given some advice the other day. Just don't hold back and go for it. You won't achieve anything if you don't do something. If you have a passion for something, then don't hold back.

Which brings me to my most recent post. It was more of a rant towards those who refuse to believe in what I'm trying to do because it just doesn't make sense to them. It's not doing what others are doing. I'm trying to express my own creativity and some people don't understand that. That was what I was trying to get at it in my last post.

To be a writer (or whatever you decide to be), a person really needs to let go of all insecurities and just be who you are. Put your heart and soul into what you do. Who cares what anyone else thinks? Just be you, you know?

Now I'll get on to writing chapter eight. :)
