On Wednesday I joined YouWriteOn again in
the hope that the reviews will get me out of the impasse. I received the first
review today. Not enough plot, it said. And I know they’re right. It’s why I’ve
ground to a halt halfway through. I’m not sure I can face rejigging the whole
thing again though. I may just
abandon this novel and start another.
Sometimes I even wonder whether I should
give up this whole writing lark. I’ve been struggling for so long and I
realised this morning that I have a recurring dream. I’m in a job and I don’t
know what the hell I’m doing and no one is helping me and I have to pretend to
be busy and I feel like a fraud all the time . . .
But if I do consider giving up writing my
life has no point any more. ‘You’ll find something else,’ says Frog.
I will wait for more reviews however before
making any decisions. That at least is the sensible thing to do.
