I've sold six short stories, and writen two unpublished novels...

[Ozymanithrax]

I am finsihing my third novel. I am considering editing my first two novels and using e-publishing.

I don't think of writing as needing courage quite as much as it needs discipline. It is hard to set down at the keyboard and set your own goals.

The best way is to start small, write a short story, and write it all the way through.

Good luck wih the writing. For me, it is a mind saver.
