You know, I was looking at your “The Cinderella Society” on my bookshelf this morning and all through my commute to work I was thinking about it because it is one of the incredibly unique stories that inspirid my own Writing Creed. So when I got to work I looked you up and found this amazing challenge with all of these inspirational thoughts and ideas. So thank you.

I find everything on this website soooooo inspiring. I have been playing with my book consept for three years now. I have lost count of how many times I have second guessed myself and changed the idea, but kept the same charecters. But, thats kind of what this is about right? To get started and keep trying?

I am 15 yrs old and I have been writing for quite a while now. When I first started, I was awful, so I’m glad to see that I have at least improved a little bit! But my problem a LOT is that I don’t FINISH my stories, if you know what I mean. I usually have several ideas….tho right now, I really don’t but I just never finish them. Any tips??! thanks =] I would LOVE to get a novel published some day

This is definitely putting new thoughts in my head and that excites me so much. I think this process will really help to open up my mind and my heart to get down to the root of this. Yes, I’m passionate, but the why is such an important factor I hadn’t thought about before.

I completed a book-length manuscript when my daughter was first born. I was very dedicated to writing every day – I’d usually sit down at the word processor for at least two hours after I’d put her to bed – and by her first birthday, I’d finished it. Of course, it really wasn’t very good, but I was (and am) very proud of having actually written a book-length story from beginning to end.

My daughter is now sixteen years old. Of course, I still do write, but everyday life has a way of interfering with one’s ability to sit down and find the zone to really let it out. Somewhere on your blog, I read that dedicating fifteen minutes a day might be enough. I never really thought about it like that, but it just might work.

My writing creed is a work in progress, but it seems that I do have a theme that plays in my head when I write.

If you have to hide who you really are, you’re only living half a life, and I want my readers to embrace living a whole life.

Seems like my comments go really long. I’ll work on that.
