So I started writing a book because I seem to have come into a lot of free time recently and it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. (Okay not always, rather once I understood the concept that books are written by authors and authors are actual real life people). Out of curiosity I started investigating what the process of getting a book published is like.

Big mistake. I hit a solid wall of negativity and impossibility which has really de-motivated my writing. The idea of getting published didn’t even connect to why I originally started writing. However the lists of things you should read, should do/shouldn’t do while writing and all the "don’t you know it’s pointless anyway" really has gotten to me.

I still get ideas for situations and characters and the world/universe set up, but I can’t seem to sit down and write the main text anymore...

So yeaaaaah, a little update... sorry for the lack of art etc but I thought I would let you know where the creative part of my brain had wondered off to.

Hope you are all well!

Have you ever watched the speech Neil Gaiman did for a uni graduation? I'll dig the link up, it's awesome… and maybe it will help. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikAb-N…
