Hardest Part of Writing
At the Romance Writing Workshop held at the Norman Public Library on 2-10-07, one of the questions posed to the Panel of Romance writers was "What is the hardest part of writing?"
Here are the responses from some well-known Oklahoma authors:
Mel Odom:
o The big words.
o At first, you fall in love with the book—like bringing the baby home—at first it is cute and wonderful, then you get sick of changing the diapers (revisions!).
o Hardest part is finishing the book
Crystal Inman:
o Waiting for the check to come
o The time lag involved in the whole publishing process
Sharon Sala:
o The money thing and also the whole process of writing
o Has to challenge herself to keep herself going
Christine Rimmer:
o Editing
o Feels like “I’ll accept your child if you cut his hair and buy him shoes”
