About a week in – my experiences of being an author

  I should warn you now, there are a lot of very good reasons why I am an editor rather than a writer.  What I have learnt so far:

 

• I am very bad at getting started
• I hate deadlines even the ones I’ve inflicted on myself
• Life (and paid work), children, cats and fish all seem to get in the way.
• I hate planning on a computer – it has to be paper and pen or I can’t seem to ‘see’ what I’m doing.
• Equally I hate writing on paper – has to be a computer.
• I live in fear of formatting a PDF.
• I still don’t have a title.

What are your experiences? What makes you suit being a writer, and what personality traits hinder you?
