A little place were I can rant and rave about the ups and down of writing my first novel. I started it when I was writing for NaNoWriMo in Nov 2008, and I find that it still provides that push of inspiration when I'm suffering from writers block.
1. Can't We Just Be Friends

It's been two years since I wrote my first novel for NaNoWriMo 2008 and it's starting to get to the point where I'm starting to wonder; when do you give up the ghost on a story that just never seems to shore up?

Now, don't get me wrong, I still love my story. After spending two years working on and developing the story, nurturing the characters, you can't help but love what you've been working on. However, how much work can you put into a literary relationship until you have to admit to yourself that, despite all of the good times you and the novel had together, the relationship just isn't meant to have that long term happily ever after?
