Fifty days of continuous blogging! And fifty days of working on a novel. Some of the writing has been good, some of it has been rather poor, but I'm learning as I go.
I learned that its good to write EVERY DAY, even if its just a paragraph.
I learned a life lesson that characters with lots of flaws are so much funner and more interesting to write than perfect, well-adjusted characters, and I think that says a lot about actual life... flaws make you interesting and beautiful.
I learned that most characters aren't entirely good or bad, because humans are both. That's what makes our lives so complex.
Going back and rereading, I learn what makes a good page and what makes a bad, clumpy, choppy page.
I learned to completely treasure the online dictionary and thesaurus.
I learned that reading other people's work improves my own.
I learned that my best writing is when I write about something I'd like to read.
I learned that there will always be better writers than myself, but that's no reason to not write.
I get tomorrow off! Guess what I'm gonna do :)
