Richard Bach Quote
“A professional writer is an amateur who won’t quit.”
~Richard Bach (1936 – )
I’m to the point in the writing of my story that I am really very proud of how the beginning has turned out. This is dangerous. It is dangerous because it has made me afraid to proceed in the story and perhaps make everything aimless, or too obvious, or just plain awful. Quitting would be easy, I guess that’s why so many people do indeed quit.
But, my characters are just waiting to be heard (read) and I think this is a story that kids need. And, truthfully, I love it so far. So I must press on and take chances. If the plot becomes confusing, the characters too canned, or a variety of other things, that just means the story is in progress, that it’s growing. Quitting is not an option, for me or for the story. Therefore, today, I will keep writing.
