Churchill on writing
“Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.”
- Winston Churchill
I love this quote because that's about where I am. I have one novel in final edit and another in rough edit. It seems like I'll never be done!
Yet, I know that in a few months I will be done. I'm trying to give these books the benefit of the experience I gained writing my first novel. Some of that is coming through in my page layout and design, which I'm rather happy about.
I continue to read "Writer's Companion" by Richard Marius, the original edition. It's an incredible resource. It's designed for essayists so it's perfect for me as a blogger, and it's really helped my style as a novelist too. I highly recommend it to everyone.
