Author's Corner - Drops in the Bucket



A novel is huge, right?
Staring at a blank Word document, the cursor blinking mockingly at you as you consider the fact that you're trying to compose a full-length novel is just frustrating and deflating, right?

Well, it doesn't have to be.
(at least not all the time)

All you have to do is write.
It could be a page.
It could be a paragraph.
It could be a sentence.
You could even just come up with one character name.

But it's something.


You can't drive a parked car, and you can't improve an unwritten novel.

I've made a goal to write a little every day.
No word count to reach, no specific goals as far as content, but I have to write something every day.

It may just be drops in a bucket, but the same raindrop that falls without notice to the earth is one that could be joined by millions of others to create a flash flood.


So right now, write something. 
Put at least one drop in your bucket.
And be surprised when you look next to find it halfway full.
