I'm working on a book. It's something new for me and is a bit stop and go.

question: will i actually *finish * this book and, if I do, will it get published?


Yes you will finish the book, however because of it's lack of originality it will not get published. It's really a test run isn't it? The reasons for it not getting published are to veer you off the path...Write a second book after, and you will have more luck with publishers.


Oooo...interesting answer.

Here's the deal: the only reason I'm writing the book is because I don't have the space to do what I actually love doing right now, which is paint. (and which I *did* have some success at)

So it's really just a "time filler" til I can get back to doing what I really love.

That being the case...I wouldn't actually mind being "veered off the path" (of book-writing)...as long as I can replace it with what I actually love doing.

Complex.

Anything else to add? Maybe I'll be able to start painting again soon after getting the no-go on the book publishing? LOL. And can just forget about the stupid book thing which has been such a struggle for me?

You'll find that book writing and painting will become similiar over time. Don't give up on writing just yet...it's difficult and not as fun, but it'll give you a sense of maturity in your painting.

And in your painting, its not about space but about creating something new. Starting a book is exactly that. A book can be like a great painting, with how you look at it.

Think of graphic novels...and maybe you'll have an idea for the future.
