Not easy to write a book

I have nothing but respect for people who write books. I have tried on three occasions to create a novel, start well, but run out of words after about 50 pages.
When I read the awesome works of Dickens, Scott, RLS or any of the other classic authors, I am always impressed by their cunning way with words.
Just an observation!

I have also tried multiple times to write a book. I even have the story in my head from start to finish. I know how it will end and how I want to get there but its so much work and research and the devil is in the details. Once I wrote the story on my phone for more than one year when ever I was bored or waiting I'd add to it. I got about 2 chapters and then the word app crashed and I lost it all. Lol

@REMsleep Could you start again?

@LizOwen Yes, I work 3 jobs so thats part of it but I want to finish that book one day even if just to show myself that it can be done and even if I'm the only one that reads it.

@REMsleep Well done, you! I am the last person to give advice, but if you are determined, then keep writing!
