Kristen Lamb published an excellent article about how to ‘recognize’ Newbies’. I have to admit, it took me a moment to realize I still do the one or other thing and need to work on that. I’m sure you will like that post as much as I do and might still learn something.

Get it? You’re newbie is showing? Ah we are talking about the deeper stuff today 😀 .
Writing seems like it just shouldn’t be that hard, and yet? It’s deceptive. Seasoned storytellers make it look easy, and that does us no favors. Sort of like when I was four years old and, high off an episode of Wonder Woman, went flying out the back door and got the bright idea to do a handspring just like–OH SWEET EIGHT POUND SIX OUNCE BABY JESUS THAT HURT.
Many of us who eventually decide to become novelists did so because we grew up loving books. Then, probably just as many of us, thought we could also do that seamless triple front handspring (write a full length novel) with zero professional training, no practice and no falls.
Yeah about that.
