Like one big Win/Win situation,<br /><br />Only I am still not entirely sure how I could organise something like that in a practical way. Also currently I don't even get any comments on any of my <i>(Rock Star Writer)</i> - Short Stories - in developement yet.HP van Duurenhttp://hpshappywriting2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-8613899136454877152012-12-01T04:25:31.217-08:002012-12-01T04:25:31.217-08:00H.P.,

I once made some...That's a lot of discipline, <br /><br />I once made some serious preparations for writing a Novel during a vacation. For it I made lot's of notes and decided that writing a <i>'Complete'</i> is to much of a Long term project, and is currently not really my thing, although once in a while I do write ideas for making possible <i>'Partials'.</i> So I might pick it up in the future. <br /><br />Than possibly create some sort of concept of - Format - that I can use to 'draw' multiple books from. (and possibly for it assemble a team of writers.) <br /><br />In an interview I read that Bestseller writer <i>Dan Brown</i> got part of his inspiration to actually become a writer when he read a Sidney Sheldon Book on a tropical beach when he thought: <i>'I can do that too'</i> I actually wrote a post about it on my Travel Blog. (You can find it by clicking the 'Get your Novel Started' in the Keyword Clowd on the Travel Blog.) <br /><br />HP van Duurenhttp://hpshappywriting2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-25426306773899944212012-11-30T07:14:04.455-08:002012-11-30T07:14:04.455-08:00Yasmin,

However, it did force me to take a closer look at a shelved oncomplete memoir about my days in Alaska. I was able to write about three colorful charcaters.
