Writing

Comment:

Hello, I’m an aspiring author and I just wanted to know have you ever felt unmotivated to write while in the middle of a book or have had bad writer’s block? If so, how did you get over it? Also, do you think writing in first person is harder than writing in third person and what do you do if you feel people won’t like your books when it’s published? Thank you for taking a moment of time to read this! I hope you have a super sweet day!

I have to be pretty excited about the idea for a new book before I ever begin writing it.  I make sure I know what the plot will be before I begin–how the story will begin and how it will end, and what the climax will be.  If I start to feel bored with it or uncertain, then I go back to the place in the manuscript where things seemed to be going fine, and I begin writing from there.  None of us know whether people will like our book, but if a publishing company has taken your manuscript and turned it into a book, then you know that the editor certainly liked it!
