I still struggle sometimes with getting a lot done though. I guess when it comes to a large projects, I work better by breaking it into small chunks and chipping away at it slowly, but it can be frustrating just how much time and effort goes into getting a novel finished. I totally agree with both Ed and Michelle though. Not giving up truly is the most important step.<br /><br />I like the idea of reading newspapers for inspiration.
