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?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1065617You'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.
