Starting out!

I have so many idea's in my head that I would love to make into books.  I have never claimed to be a great writer but I need to prove to myself that I can do this.  I want to finish something that is important to me.  So on this twenty second day of March 2011 I am beginning my journey.  I have found a free online creative writing course that I am going to start today to try to make myself a better writer.  I am very creative but when it comes to actually putting things together I end up choppy with my sentences and it just sounds bad.  I must remember that I am only starting a rough draft of my first real story so I need not be so concerned how choppy the sentences are and just let my fingers type my thoughts!

I will be writing about the things I learn on this journey and trying to keep a word count of my work.  I have not decided yet if I will do a outline or not but I guess I should.  That is what the pro's do...it just seems like so much work.  Then again no-one ever said writing a book was easy!

Heading off now to do my first lesson in the free workshop I have found and I will be back to let you know how it went!
