And I tried a pic book. And then I tried a novel. and I did it! I finished a kick a$$ novel! (if I do say so myself :-)<BR/><BR/>SO, you CAN do it! You have to just keep writing. Everyday. Don't give up. Keep writing. Keep writing. Eventually it will come.<BR/><BR/>I promise.<BR/><BR/>SF and I still write movies together. But we write other stuff alone. And it all helps everything. <BR/><BR/>YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!Katie Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067504634291164972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647218177948670695.post-75787360490238291562009-02-05T16:16:00.000-05:002009-02-05T16:16:00.000-05:00Just keep going!!!!
