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 love books - I especially love to write them. For me it is very easy to write books (I´ve written several books in the past) because it´s like I am writing automatically when I write words down on a paper.

And when I don´t have the possibility to write (like in the last years) it is like a punishment for me. 😔

@Loretta78 Well done you! I am envious!

LizOwen · 41-45, F

@Loretta78 Have you had anything published?

Loretta78 · 46-50, F

@LizOwen Most of my novels I have written only for myself.
But yes - I´ve published a few.

@Loretta78 Congratulations to you! Under what name do you write?

Loretta78 · 46-50, F

@LizOwen I write under my really name. That’s why I keep it here as a secret. Otherwise my anonymity on SW would be away.

LizOwen · 41-45, F

@Loretta78 Fair enough. I will not ask for the book titles, then.

Loretta78 · 46-50, F

@LizOwen Even If you would ask it wouldn‘t help you because I am writing all my books not in English but in my mother language. 🙂

@Loretta78 OK - no problem!
