Verb, but not the noun
Sometimes I feel like I'm just writing but not a writer. I know the technicalities of it but I don't have real skill. When virtually anyone on this earth can write a book. But how well will it be? I don't know how this book will turn out in the end. But I have the new perspective to not worry about anything else accept how I want it to go. And thats a good life lesson also. It doesn't matter if it sales or if its as good as Harry Potter which is my goal. I can't help but constantly compare my book to the brilliance of Harry Potter which it feels short of immensely. I don't want my book to be the same in any way shape from or fashion. But I'd like to feel as proud of my books as I feel for J.K. Rowling writing them. Those books and Twilight was the beginning of everything for me in so many ways. Harry Potter gives me hope. I WILL do this! I have self confidence in it. I believe in it. No matter what else happens, I'll remember these days. I put my soul into these books. My hard work will reflect the success. And thats success internally and not externally...

Having faith in your novel is a must and is very necessary for a successful novel because good literature will gain success whether it be now or fifty years from now.
ReplyDeleteBut your work is your own and it's never good to compare it to the greatness or success of another author's work because you'll never be happy with your own.
It is essential to back your own writing without it having to stand on the stilts of someone else's because everyone else is going to tear your writing apart and compare compare it to everything under the wispy blue sky... but it is up to you to know and believe that your stands on it's own and doesn't need to be listed among the other titles.
