Struggling with the Pen/Keyboard

It's amazing that when I want to write something...anything, my minds shut down. I have a hard time coming up with a character, a line...anything.

About two weeks ago, I stumbled on this ...what could you call it? this notice about writers for this new series of novels. I went through a series of different emotions. Excitement at first, dread...you know all those sentiments that come and go when you think you can do something and than you realize maybe this is more than I am capable of. As long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a writer. I have wanted to express myself with a pen and open a new world for readers. So when I put my mind to it, I started writing. I continued writing because of the encouragements of my classmates at CCF ( School in Haiti) and this is how this writer ( hack of a writer) was born. For some reason, now that I am older ...writing has become difficult. I still dabble in Fan Fiction, but my own work has been relegated to some scribbles here and there, that come to life when I am bored in a meeting or in class.

Now I have decided to blog ...Blog about writers blog ...blog about having no inspiration...or just maybe I have too much time on my hands.

Well the clock is ticking ...there is a deadline for the manuscript submission ...October 2009. I have about 6 months to write a 150,000 word story...Yeah right...this is so depressing...

I guess ..this is my start ....Mon debut
