What would I have to do to write a novel?
The easiest thing I know is to think of a set of ideas and pick one.
The next thing I have to do is write an outline.
That same thing also can be done.
The next things I have to do is start writing chapters.
This is much harder.
Then another and another.
Then I have to put together a rough draft.
A rough draft is much harder for me because I am real self-critical.
This often gets m e most because
I keep revising my revisions and I no longer have my sister around to proofread for me.
Then I have to try to get a publisher, which would be more harder.
Because I would have to leave the TV off.
And find Dad's old padlock that he put on the refrigerator.
I once had to start a long journey.
You need a first stop.
Mine is procrastination.
-L.J. Lewin
