I want to be a writer but i'm having trouble writing my first book what can I do?

Hi Eric, and what is exactly the trouble?
First, write and enjoy it. No pace is mandatory. It's not that you have a deadline (unless you do from a publisher). If it takes years, it just as good as a few month, maybe even better. But if you don't enjoy it and it does come out, I'm not sure you should push it. Currently, it's relatively hard to make money in writing, so if you don't enjoy it - what's the point? Sounds like lose-lose to me. On the other hand, if you think you have a story that you want told, you can hire a ghost-writer, like some celebs and other dignitaries do and s/he'll do it for you -:) Anyhow best of luck!

We are in a similar genre, as my breakout book is horror fiction (CRONE, A Scarlet St. James Novel). Was just wondering, how will your legal and financial experiences in the Ukraine and Russia translate to American Authors? I find the language barrier and political base may preclude you from truly understanding what the system is like here. Am I wrong?
