I'M NORMAL

Finally, I'm normal. Yay!!!!

I've just come from Sue Grafton's website. She has a journal section where she chronicles her writing process on some of her books. Oh, those questions and obstacles she encountered as she wrote her Kinsey Millhone mystery series are so like some of the questions I have faced as I tried to write my stories. I was so discouraged that I have all these unanswered questions about my stories. I remember squirming in my chair and scolding myself for not knowing all the answers to these questions I have at the time. As I read Sue's journal notes I heaved a sigh of relief. I'm normal. If Sue Grafton has all these unanswered questions at the time of writing then they are no big deal. I'll just have to think them through and solve them as I write my story. It doesn't mean I am not a writer or a bad writer because of them. I just need to work them through as I write. That was what and how Sue does it and I can do it too.

Get the darn thing written first. Think and work out the questions as I write out the story until I reach the end. Boy, this writing process is becoming clearer and clearer.

I'm singing right now. I'm just a normal writer. I'm a writer. And a writer with questions is a writer with questions and a story to write. Wooooohooooo....

Can you picture me with my arms in the air doing the move of pure joy and happiness?

I'm singing. Man, I feel like a writer again. I'm a writer. Writers write, writers have questions, writers solves and answers her questions and the story moves.

Yay!!!!!!!!
