The Agonies Behind Writing A Book

Writing The Rag Princess began almost three years ago. Someone bullied me, asking if I wanted to die having others discover my writing in an attic. My stubbrn disposition made me tell them that I was "Really Going To Do It." I dug in and was in love with the words and story. At that time it was so simple but very time consuming. I wanted each word to be just right and I wanted my book to be a Louisa  May Alcott type story... or like Bess Streeter Aldrich or try Willa Cather or even Harper Lee of To Kill A Mockingbird.. It's all right for you to laugh... I didn't realize how hard this endeavor was going to be. That at mmoments I would love the story and detest it.at other times Nor did I realize that I would write the script so many times that  placed three computers in jeopardy, let alone the threat of losing my loved ones for having abandoned them to a farm story about an abandoned girl who falls in love and eventually heals. A top the misery is the MS. Now and then I have my bad days, but I knew that to start with. On that note, writing is therapy. Oh,  in the beginning, I had to learn to type and suffer through learning Word and blog and grammar and decide who to have publish the book. What I am trying to tell you, those who have hung in, is that the story is coming. I think I finally have the "for sure" version. It's time to live again so right or wrong, errors or error free, good or horrible, I am getting the book to the final editors by this coming friday. There I have said it. I would love to hear from others on this issue. Was it hard to do or did you fly right thorugh it?. Thanks for your patience. Your Bruised but Mending writer.
