The Truth About Writing
"No great work is ever done in a hurry. To develop a great scientific discovery, to paint a great picture, to write an immortal poem, to become a minister, or a famous general -- to do anything great requires time, patience, and perseverance. These things are done by degrees, Little by Little. Milton did not write Paradise Lost at a sitting, nor did Shakespeare compose Hamlet in a day.
The greatest writers must begin with the alphabet; the most famous musicians once picked out their notes laboriously; a child must learn to draw a straight line before he can develop into a Titian or a Michaelangelo." (William J. Wilmont Buxton)
To Reiterate
The greatest writers must begin with the alphabet. With words. You too must start there. To do anything great requires time, patience, and perseverance. Get started. And that, my friends, is the good news as well as the bad.

Meet Stormy Clarkson, haunted by mistakes she made that changed her life. On the brink of turning fifty, she's crushing on a younger man--totally gorgeous, sexy Sean Butler, owner of Sierra Verde Winery.
Stormy is determined to resist Sean's advances, but Sean, once an interrogator for the U.S. Army, knows a lie when he hears one, and that's all he hears in Stormy's icy refusals. He's coming for her like the U.S. Marines. To win her heart, he's prepared to: Adapt. Improvise. Overcome.
JANE (I'm Still Single) JONES
What could be worse for a former high school beauty queen who never landed the only man she ever loved than attending her 10-year high school reunion alone? Morgan Sherwood, the town boy-wonder who made good in a big way, was once her secret love, a geeky teen who stole her heart and then broke it before leaving town forever. He's back; he's not a geeky kid any more; and he has plans for the lovely Miss Jones.
