Stephen King!
Yup, I am! He can have a rough draft ready in three months! Here I am stuttering away and it's been almost a year and still I don't have my rough draft done!
Even when he worked full-time and had kids, he had a wife to help take care of things. I bet he could go lock himself in a room and no one disturbed him. Now he has tons of people to take care of things to leave him free to write.
I guess I'm just frustrated. I've got custody of my 3 year old grandson and right there we have a big part of my problem. All the cooking, all the cleaning, all the wiping snotty noses is done by your truly here. Whenever he gets sick, oh, it's another break from writing. ARGH!
I feel so strongly that the book I'm writing is going to be really good when it's finished. At the same time I feel like Jean Auel, where it takes 5 years to write a book, LOL!
Things really took a turn after my first book came out, then I was in a movie. (Not sure I can say the name, but it's a haunted documentary about an area near my home.) Then come to find out, non-fictions don't really make much, but really, are for all intents and purposes, money pits! I jet around all over, spending my money and time being at events to promote my stuff. Yahoo! (I'd much rather stay home and talk to ghosts, myself, or write a story!)
But I think I'm here to commiserate, to not feel alone!
I guess I'm just a little disappointed that things have been a bit tough this year. I said last winter I'd have this done by the end of the summer. Unless things give, it's not going to happen.
Does anyone else have the obstacles I have? Did you figure out a way to work around them? If you did, I sure am all ears!
For those who remember me, yeah, I know, been a LONG time! Hugs!
(But a good bit of information is, I've finally gotten to a part I've been dying to write, this should be good! Muwahahahaha! Let's just say there's going to be a body count in this one!)
