So I got started on writing...finally named my protagonist, created a few secondary characters out of fluff, and put a few bits on the first two chapters. And got less than 2,000 words completed in a week.
I'm unhappy. And I'm having a hard time writing. Writer's block is part of it...but the other part is what I call "Writer's shy bladder syndrome". Shy bladder syndrome is where you can't go to the bathroom in public because your body freaks out and shuts down. In my case, it's that I can't write with anyone around, because I'm ashamed they'll see what I'm doing and ask questions. Only one person I know knows I'm actually doing this so far. I've hidden it from everyone else, including my girlfriend.
That's something I have to deal with. After all, one day I'm going to have to pitch my books to who knows how many faceless strangers. If I can't admit I'm writing to my loved ones...it's not a good thing.
But at least I started. Now to just keep working at it!
