How's your book going.........

My friend asked me this today and it reminded me, it's been almost 2 years since the last time i even looked at what I've written, let alone, actually put something on paper. Rain, was/is my first attempt at anything big, i think i could make it into a big story, but then feel like there is no way I could write a novel. Novels are for Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Laurell K. Hamilton, novel's are not for Samantha Spillman. I have never thought i was very creative, which is fine, most of what i write is for personal, or close friend viewing, so it's never bothered me much. But lately, and perhaps because I'm home, i really feel like i should do "something" aside from the kiddos and cleaning, I should have a "craft" i should be knitting, or painting, or.......writing. My friend was very understanding, assuring me she's been there, and it takes time. She said she likes what I've written, and she wants to see more. I love her for this i really do. Sometimes, just like with being a parent, one needs to be reminded to just keep trying. In the end, I may never get "the call" but at least it's fun to do while i wait...........
