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!

Try writing short stories and compile them all into an anthology.

@LizOwen Works for some writers

@Nexus It's worth trying! My words dry up after a while.

@LizOwen That happens a lot of writers, but short stories can be very rewarding and you might find them easy to complete. SOme short stories are only 10 pages long

@Nexus I can manage 10 pages- I think! thank you for the encouragement. :-)
