A writer is...
someone who finds life fascinating, all or some of it. And are compelled to share their fascination, their marveling.

I love Google, Bing....the internet
I'm taking a break from procrastinating and getting some writing done. It's so cool to just come online to find the right day of the week for a date in 1935. What did writer's do fifty year's ago???
Complete
Just finished the Money seminar last Wednesday. (Landmark). Wow!! Lit a fire, solved a dilemma and moved me into action.
I nearly finished the first rough draft of the novel I've been alternately working on and procrastinating for four years now. Almost five. It was 75%+ complete at the end of NaNoWriMo. Today I completed the rework backwards into an outline that shores up the storyline and....completes it. For the first time I have a complete outline of the entire story. In other words, breakthrough! An ENDING!!!! A beginning, a middle and an end. What most folks call a complete story :)
Now I go back. Write again from scratch. From the beginning. Yes. I seem to like completing in a single movement.
Who doesn't prefer the single movement and plop. I mean plot! (Too juvenile?)
Anyway. I'm delighted, excited, ecstatic.
And procrastinating....Again.

It's A Process
It’s a process.
After years of talking about it, writing about writing about it, procrastinating and retreating from baby steps taken, I finally began the chapter-to-chapter work of manifesting my manuscript. I started November 1st, from scratch. I completed 50,000+ words by November 30th. My second NaNoWriMo win. (The prize is personal satisfaction. No money.)
For so long I just wanted to write it, beginning to end. I didn’t get to the end. There’s so much story left to tell, it’s just getting juicy. I can begin to see two distinct books arise and which will be first.
The best part of getting so far along in my writing is discovering my process for completing it to publication. Whew! That’s huge. Now that I have the complete story, I can outline the drama. It's totally backwards from what I expected. Write the story first, then outline. From the outline, I’ll be able to rearrange the scenes logically. I forget how planned and logical I am. I may be an “artist”, but I am so so logical.
Once the scenes are logically arranged, then go back and work up the details scene-by-scene. Most likely, sticking to the to the flow of the subplots for consistency.
Then finesse the writing.
Isn’t that funny. Opposite of my intuitive ideas. Worry about the quality of each sentence absolutely last.
A plan. Somebody probably wrote a book about this. Probably a great how-to. Some of us like to believe we invented the idea of sweet with peanut butter. Sure, someone else came up with the peanut-butter and jelly sandwich, but this is organic peanut spread with pomegranate-infused strawberry jam. This is the MasterRabin step-by-step guide to manifesting a novel.

NaNoWriMo 2nd Time
I just want to express within the hallowed space of a public blog that I CAN NOT START WRITING!!!!!
Exhale. Deep breath. Longer exhale. I'm in my second NaNoWriMo. This time tackling, from scratch, the novel I've been talking about since 2007. Out wit the old chapters, in with the new inspiration. By November 30th, it'll be done. Just one thing...I haven't started.
I'm sitting at the computer. I'm stuck. This is why I did the Landmark Forum in 2008. I make this doggone thing so doggone significant. My Evil Ego Twin, she's a real you-know-what. She's on my shoulder insisting I am simply not big enough, not good enough and definitely not ready to take on THIS novel. It's too big and I am too small. Who do I think I am? A writer? "Hah!!" She laughs.
That's my Evil Ego Twin. I just needed to share her with you. We're wrestling over my integrity, my life.
My promise is to write 2000 words tonight. Her promise is that I'll be stopped by insecurity.
Thank God I know who wins.
It's great to allow my Evil Ego Twin to be heard outside my head. She seems small when I type her out and share. When I let her run free in the darkness of my fears and doubts she's large enough to disable.
Check out my page and progress throughout the month of November. I'll begin updating my word count after November 10th.

Heaven on Earth
My first night and morning alone in over a month. I'm not gonna say marriage isn't for me, but waking up to only my thoughts and Chocolate sleeping at my feet seems closest to how imagine my mornings in heaven.
