Keeping It To Yourself

Read Nehemiah 1-3

Nehemiah 2:16 "And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work."

We want to talk about writing. We want to talk about the projects we want to write, the novels we plan to start, and hear how other writers make progress in their own writing.

In fact, writers can fall into a habit of talking about writing, reading about writing, and thinking about writing so much, we stop doing any actual writing. That’s when it might be best to keep our writing to ourselves.

We want to channel our writing efforts into getting the right words on the paper, getting out those first drafts and then rewriting and polishing. Then we will actually have something besides theory and dreams to talk about.
