"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."---Henry David Thoreau
I love this quote. There are days when I wake up and realize that things come into my life for a reason. This quote is here today to give me hope.
Last night was a headache because I began editing my first story. I had set it aside for the last month and a half. Now, I'm going back to it. OMG, does my story suck and does it ever not make sense. I'm trying to make it make sense. It's so true when authors say that editing a story is hard and that one better love her story because by the end of it, she's going to hate her story and characters. Right now, I'm already beginning to hate my story and my characters. I feel as if I could just gag myself with a spoon if I have to keep going through my story. Unfortunately, this is my fist edit. I still have several more edits to go (please gag me now).
However, I will stop complaining. I must be confident and know that all of this editing is moving towards my dream of finishing a novel. This is the life of writing a novel and despite all my self doubt, I can't lose faith.
How about you? Are you moving confidently in the direction of your dreams? Are you living the life you have imagined?
