Best of luck with your book about your father-in-law.

Good luck with your wip - it sounds amazing, building the individual experience into the greater conflict.<br />I find finishing difficult and it has nothing to do with running out of ideas.

I often struggle with the 80% problem -- I'll get 80% done with a story and then, because I "know" the ending, I lose interest. <br /><br />Finishing is hard. Submitting your work to criticism is even harder. But without those two things, we won't improve as writers.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
