I'm so confused!!!

Last week, I had a  crisis of confidence. I suppose it had to happen, but I also sincerely hope never to have another. But now that I’ve survived it, I’m ready to embrace my understanding of storycraft. I won’t say that I’ve mastered storycraft, because I believe that I – or any other author – never will. Instead, we get closer and closer to the line of mastery, and like the illusive rainbow, we find it just a little further away.

I also celebrate that rewriting is the crucible where books are born. I love piecing story together for a suspenseful tale. This time, I’m in such a hurry to get to rewriting, that I may be short-changing the first draft. I have to develop the patience to allow the words to flow – no editing allowed.

Confidence. Patience. My companions along the road to the end of this new story – to the beginning of the next. Maybe I should be the passenger and allow them to take turns driving. Hmmm, that’s a thought…
