I'm actually going to do it. As long as I can remember I've said that I wanted to write a novel. I've started countless stories and given up two or three days in. Part of it has been laziness and lack of preparation but the biggest problem is lack of confidence in myself. I keep asking what if my writing is no good? What if no-one likes it?
Thanks to my wonderful DH talking everything over with me and making me actually come up with a plan I'm now seriously excited and getting on with it. I've set myself an approximate word count and a rough daily target of 2000 words.
I suppose I'm just telling as many people as I can so that it's actually real rather than just something I do in secret so can give up on easily.
