I have a lot of starts and stops to my writing. In fact, I think the only consistent writing I've done over the last couple of years is almost solely related to one of my blogs. It seems an easy, cathartic way to be creative and keep the writing going.
My most recent question has been, how do I translate the story of my blog to something more substantial? How do I go about creating a beginning, middle, and end when the pieces I have are fragmented and based on emotion and memory, not plot and outline? How do I even get started?
I've decided to try the undertaking of turning my blog Adventures of a Forever Mom into something real and full and complete. I'm not sure how to put it together, yet...or even how to get it started. Where do I start the story? How much to tell? Those are questions I have to grapple with in the writing process, but somehow, some way I'll get there. I just have to get that first sentence...
