IWSG: Connecting the Dots

Writing is a lot like connecting the dots.

At first, it lacks structure and it's difficult to see what it'll look like by the end. 

But like any journey, it all starts with the first step that leads to the second, then the third . . . 

And as you connect the dots, there'll be times when things look a bit crazy. 
Or even a lot crazy....

And sometimes you'll feel like all you're doing is going around in circles....

But don't give up. Even if you make a mistake and have to double back. 

Keep pen to page. 
Keep writing.

And when you get stuck and can't see were to go next. . . 

 . . . don't be afraid to ask for help. A friend or blogging buddy will always be close by to show you the way. 

And you keep on going, because that's what you do, you connect the dots, you keep writing.

Then one day, you'll finally finish. And when you step back, the dots, crazy lines, and even your mistakes will fade into the background, and all you'll see is your book. 
Finished. 
And that is awesome. 

In the end, everyone's path is different . . .

. . . but not any less difficult or rewarding. 

I'm still connecting the dots. Writing.-----Editing.-----Rewriting.--- And at times it looks like a cluster f---, but I'll keep at it. The big picture is starting to come into view. 

I'm almost there.
