When I do write for money or business, I find it’s hard to be passionate, get ideas and stick to it.

When I write for pleasure, I write for me and my ideas, and I find I am extremely passionate about it and never have an end to ideas. I guess the key for me is to find a happy medium.

Thanks for your tips, should help me find a middle ground.

You have an impressive background.
Some advice please. I have written close to 100,000 words over a few projects and have very detailed storyline structures for three novels to be written and plans for how I might do this. With this in mind I can see at least a few months solid on the most efficient of possible approach and am procrastinating about starting without some guidance on approach.
Given all the greatest brainstorming in the world and countless ideas and scenarios, and a few floored starts, how would you best describe a structured novelling process start to finish?

Regards,
Tony

]]> Comment on The Fiction Writing Workshop: Where To Publish Your Work by Chris Warren http://writersontherise.wordpress.com/2009/12/04/the-fiction-writing-workshop-where-to-publish-your-work/#comment-12418 Fri, 04 Dec 2009 13:20:43 +0000 http://writersontherise.wordpress.com/?p=1102#comment-12418 A great summary of pointers to where to get future work published. This is of great value because it was only after getting my first novel published in May 2009 that I found out the writing is the easy bit. Getting it out there and earning money from it is the more difficult part.

Thanks again.
