"...This from your profile caught my attention:<br />"Creative and impatient - unfortunately that combination leads to grand ideas and grave disappointment!" I can absolutely relate. <br /><br />Something interesting I am noticing as I travel around reading peoples blogs .. creative people tend to be creative across the board. Knitters are also writers and cooks, musicians and painters. I thought I was odd in my ceaseless search for "the perfect outlet", but I'm not .. and that's nice. <br />Great blog and great style.

I participated in "Novemberschreiben.ch) three years ago. It helped me through a horrible November and .. tha da I had a novel and found an editor and sold about 200 copies. I'm still proud of it. :-) <br />There is bod (book on demands) where you can print as many copies as you like. Check the website. It is a good offer I think. I will print my next book at bod. It's half done.Babajezahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538344149217844113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828573965733422544.post-55099605607493391422011-10-11T18:12:36.374+01:002011-10-11T18:12:36.374+01:00You ever join in National Novel Writing Month?

Then I thought it would be a neat idea to have a bound book complete with illustrations to give to her as a birthday present. <br /><br />I found an illustrator on Etsy. She was also familiar with book layouts.<br />I used the site BLURB to "publish" and the book turned out great!<br /><br />I think it will be something my granddaughter will treasure and pass along to her children.lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828573965733422544.post-40580049512509567322011-10-10T17:05:06.728+01:002011-10-10T17:05:06.728+01:00I hope you'll follow through with getting the ...I hope you'll follow through with getting the children's book illustrated and published.

Then a weird thing happened where I turned 17 and whatever flow I had with writing just sort of dried up. Maybe it was from taking a good look at my writing and analyzing it like I had to do in class and realized how cliched I am? <br /><br />I took a creative writing class in college and I was so swamped with work that I just handed in some of my better stuff from high school. I did write the prologue to a story that I would love to really flesh out but that never went anywhere. <br /><br />I'm really enjoying blogging but it's not the sort of writing that I aspired to do as a kid. BUT to end this comment on a happy note, I've found my knitting and crafting to be a better outlet for me than writing ever was. I love the things I make even after I've noticed its flaws. I can't say the same about my writing after I really looked at it.Vanessahttp://www.mixedmartialartsandcrafts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828573965733422544.post-52957569422962389822011-10-10T14:04:15.488+01:002011-10-10T14:04:15.488+01:00Wonderful!

While I love to read, I don't believe I have a novel in me as I don't really have that sort of attention span, but if you have the rough notes, don't abandon them. And I think the story about the bat has got to be a winner.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14550392963931725159noreply@blogger.com
