Writing a Book
February 16, 2012
I love to write, and I do it a lot (and I do mean a lot) Whether it's creating poetry, blog posts, short stories, editorial columns, journalistic articles, or just a letter to a friend, I enjoy organizing thoughts and giving them permanence in words.
The one major writing box I haven't checked off my list yet is writing a novel. So yesterday, with a combination of personal motivation, creative inspiration, and just the right amount of gin, I started one.
I'm feeling pretty good about it so far. I think I have a good idea for a story, I know the style I want to use and the points I want to make.
But I'm afraid I'll screw it all up. Now that I've finally gotten started, I don't want to let myself down. This is an immense undertaking for me, and I'm notorious for not fulfilling my own goals.
Are there any other writers out there with a little experience writing books? I'm treading unknown waters and any advice would certainly be welcome. Do we have any secret novelests in the AT world?

Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance
ColtrainFull text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. Highlight: Would set hours of operation of each Athens-Clarke County "building campus" -- e.g. City Hall, the courthouse and Dougherty Street government building -- at 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Park hours would either be set by the Athens-Clarke County manager or the Mayor and Commission. The ordinance has been derided by members of Occupy Athens and others as seeking to enforce a curfew on public property, thus damaging their First Amendment right to peacably assemble for long-term protests. read more

Either way the bomb we dropped on Hiroshima did way more devastation and took many more lives.

@helligater69: That still doesn't change the facts. I don't think they should try to compare one tragedy with a tragedy...
