Just broke the 14,000-word barrier, which means that the curse of 13 has lifted. Starting to doubt whether the latest 'novel' is up to scratch, though, which is making writing tough going. Just searched on some newly-published novels and they all look far more credible than my own.
Anyone else got views on how you know whether your novel's a go-er or not and also how to stay motivated?

The rants and ravings of a frustrated novellist

About Me
- SarahLK
- I started writing when I was eight (ahem) 26 years ago on my Mum's recently fixed typewriter. Back then I mostly wrote poems including: The man who spoke gobbledegook, and The day Spot escaped to the sanctuary of the bar - a poem about our dog running away. Since giving birth in December 05, I've rekindled my dream of becoming a novellist, mostly because it'd give me the freedom to spend more time with my daughter, Amber and husband Mike.
