When Writing Goes Awry.

The Troubles Of Writing A Book.
Some might think that writing a book is a simple thing to do. And for some it might be. But for me, it is no easy task. I have been "writing" a book for the last 5-6 years. It has not been easy. I have made pretty good progress, but my usual detailed, and vivid imagination has been lacking in the results of my book. I have reread and reread it, and I just can't seem to express in words what I see and feel how the story should go. I have so many ideas for this book, but honestly it's ending up being boring. There is nothing exciting to me in it so far. And I can't figure out how to add that little something that it desperately needs. I have a way with words often enough, but for the life of me, those witty statements/stories/remarks just will not pop out of my brain and into the dull lines of my sad attempt of a novel. I admit, there are a few lines in the book that I am proud of, but it just isn't enough to hold up a whole book. I would draw my inspiration from life experiences, but truth be told, I really don't have any. Over all for my book, I want it have a positive effect on those who will possibly read it in the future. I want them to feel the emotions from the characters that I often feel when I read a good book. Also, I want them to be able to see the story, not just read it. I will continue to work on it, and improve the lack luster descriptions and imagery. Good luck to everyone else that is writing, I hope that you have success in it.
