I'm going to write a book. I will probably regret this decision.
As I've mentioned I have a writers block, but instead of avoiding the problem for any longer I'm going to "take the bull by the horns," as it's called. I don't have any decided genre for it, although I have made a general plan for what is going to happen, and I don't even know if I'll find anything to write at all, but this is my attempt at breaking the block.
I don't know exactly how many pages a book would be. I know a novel technically has to be over 40,000 words to be a novel, but that below 55,000 is hard to get published at all, and I doubt I'll be able to write so much around the plan I have made, without detailing way too much.
It has always been a dream of mine to write a book, but I'm not sure I'll be able to complete an entire book. So I guess a collection of short stories would be a bit less ambitious dream, like a halfway mark to the real goal, but I've never been a fan of shortcuts, so I'll go right ahead past that halfway mark, completely ignoring that savepoint.
The real problem here, I find as I try to write this thing, isn't that I can't write, it's just not good. For once I force myself to continue even though it's bad, and it really makes me see how bad it flows. The flow of this story is absolutely terrible, characters being underdeveloped, descriptions varying from too little to too much, dialogue being boring, it's a right mess. But yet I fight on, hoping that I some day can finish it, if for nothing else so that I at least can say that "I did that."
Oh god what have I gotten myself into?
