the words I could never find to describe...

It's been a few days of intense creativity, but I've finally hit the inevitable rough patch and don't know where to go from here. The difference though from today and the past is that then I would have given in and up, but I truly feel what I'm writing is special. As corny as it sounds I honestly believe it's the story I have been trying to write for my entire life. In effort to boost creativity I have compiled a playlist on my computer and iphone of songs that have particular meaning or significance in life and have pretty much been listening to it on repeat for the past few days. I have some good ideas, hopefully they'll find their way to paper soon.

Leah and I were talking yesterday about what would happen if my novel were published and was critically well received. I've always dreamed of that possibility, but had never actually considered what would happen if it were to come to pass. I don't really know what I'd do, because in all honesty I don't think I'd be able to write another one. I said earlier I feel like this was the story I've been writing my entire life, I seriously doubt that anything I could write in a one to two year period could even begin to compare.
