Just strolling along...

I have always just written to write, possibly with no focus or purpose, or maybe there was. It has been hard for me to realize what writers go through as they write and make revisions. I don't exactly know what I thought, maybe it was that published writers just wrote and everything came out perfect, no major revisions, no sitting around finding a focus, analysing each word and paragraph... I thought it came naturally to them. I thought that while I was reading all of these books, novels, short stories, etc... that the way everything fit perfectly might have been a major coincidence. I couldn't have conceive the amount of thought that goes into their works... I have a greater respect for writers now. Just wanted to share. :)
