Fiftieth post!

This is it!  Half way to my goal!!!  Yeah baby!  One more month and I'll be in Toronto with my beloved and hopefully on my to working on a new chapter! 
MMMMMM...probably not. Well, maybe I can start working on the third draft of Chapter 2. 
I often worry if I'll ever get this story finished?  After all, it's almost been two years on a single frickin' chapter!  
It's not that I mind working on the chapter as it's taught me a lot but even if luck, the goddess and a very nice person picks up my story and reads it, what are the chances of a first story getting published?  I mean, really?  All this work and the most I can hope for is a pocket book romance.  I mean, I'll be very, very, very, very grateful...I mean it!
But like many wanna-be published authors, I daydream about being a best seller on The Romance Times.  That I have some sort of undiscovered genius, and that it would be be a commercial success like Nora Roberts, Phillipa Gregory or J.R. Rowling. 
I know part of being an author is to get critical success as well, but let's be honest.  I'm not Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway or John Steinbeck.  I wish I was, but I'm not.  I love writing.  I love writing these entries.  I like to think I have a wee bit of talent and some major help from Florence, I have learned a lot. 
I learned to tell the difference between an active sentence and a passive sentence. 
I think I've learned how to write a chapter (write some scenes and then slap them together and edit a shit ton until everything fits together).
I've learned that I repeat myself when I write an initial draft (again, editing is supremely important part of the writing process.  Almost more important than writing!)
I've learned to be a bit more patient.

That's all for now folks!

Cheers
