Moses Siregar III
These are probably the ten most helpful books I've read on the subject of writing fiction. I read each of them this year, except for #10, which I read about seven years ago: 1) "On Writing" by Stephen King. 2) "The First Five Pages" by Noah Lukeman...
Moses Siregar III I just finished writing the first draft of my novel. It's been an incredibly life-affirming process that started in August (the first glimpse of the idea came in January and was put aside until August). Experiencing it coming together has made me cry joyfully a number of times while writing it--the emotion just comes up from my soul.
Moses Siregar III Alan Watts: "Advice? I don't have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you're writing, you're a writer. Write like you're a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there's no chance for a pardon. Write like you're clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, a...n...d you've got just one last thing to say, like (continued in comments ...)
Carole Malboeuf Thanks for the invite Moses. Always interested in supporting other writers.
Moses Siregar III November report: I wrote 50,000 words in November and am now just about 5,000 words away from the end of my first draft, which will probably end up around 115K words. I can't tell you how happy this has made me. I _really_ love this story and I'm excited to start the long revision process soon.
Moses Siregar III Nice quote on writing and "discipline" from a 1964 article in The Writer by suspense author Patricia Highsmith, writer of 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' ... see my first comment for the quote.

After 13 days, I'm more than half-way to the NaNoWriMo goal of 50K words this month. I'm sitting at 27K right now, making this by far my most productive month of writing. It has taken exceptional focus for me to write this much, though. It's pretty intense, but I'm also really enjoying it.

A 1938 article called: "The Professional Writer" by Somerset Maugham. It ends up as a profound piece about the spiritual liberation of the writer/artist. I found this in the 'Classic Writing' section of the writermag.com website.

After writing more than 2K words today, I changed my mind. I AM going to do NaNoWriMo this month (National Novel Writing Month, which is always in November). The goal: 50K words. You need to average 1,667 words a day to "win." 1 down, 29 more days to go. Here's my spartan member page at the NaNo website where I'll be u...pdating my monthly totals daily:

Moses Siregar III October report: 16K words written (55K total). The bad: less than last month's 21K. The good: my last 4 days writing were all 1K+ days (been visualizing writing 1,500 words a day, and when I have written recently I'm getting close to that). Also learned that drinking a beer and writing does not work for me (makes me ve...ry unproductive). I'm excited for a new month and will try to be inspired by NaNoWrMo. Wish me luck!
Jennifer Hi Moses~Sorry that I have not gotten back to you on a more personal note to reconnect, but at any rate i thought you might find this, if not inspiring or intimidating, at least interesting. Wishing you well from waaaaaaaay over here~j
