Writing

So, after many months off, I’ve made an effort to try and get the writing thing going again.  After all, I’m never going to improve if I don’t keep at it am I?  This involves reading lots, both factual books for research, and fictional books for inspiration, tips, and what not to dos.  In fact some use has come from those awful books I read recently.  I need to do better than them if I’m ever to have a chance of any kind of success.  Bear in mind that I class actually liking what I’ve written myself as success, and that’s obviously before I let anyone else have a look.  In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever shown anyone anything I’ve ever written, not since the rubbish dinosaur stories I wrote as a kid. 

Trying to immerse myself in Tudor history is somewhat slow going this time though.  I am reading a really good book right now though actually, but I’m not sure it isn’t serving more to demotivate me.  I’ll never be that good.  But that’s not the right attitude here.  I will persevere.  I will succeed.  And if I tell myself this often enough, then who knows, I might even succeed.  Yay.

On the other hand, given the amount of crap out there about the Tudors, I might just give up and decide to focus on another less overdone era instead.  Hmm.
