First Timer

Firstly, I am Aaron. One of the millions aspiring to be an author, so this post should come as no surprise. I've completed my first novel and seek the all elusive agent that is right for me. Really I would skip all this and write for the fun of it, because that is what I truly love. Sitting down and creating a tale for others to enjoy. Yet if I don't persevere who will actually enjoy what I spin on paper, aside from my friends and loved ones? So the dilemma, I dislike preparing these synopsis, these outlines, basically everything except for the act of writing. Guessing I should just clam up and do what needs to be done, yet I've got a job that pays the bills, so when does this grow beyond the hobby and takes over everything? I wanted to send out a packet to Tor publishing this December, but it never happened. I didn't forget about it, but the month has slipped by so fast. I also wanted to send a query to BookEnds, but that did not happen either. Can one procrastinate long enough, that their lives slips away without noticing it even happened? Maybe that's why most famous authors are dead, before they're famous...

Maybe i've made a mistake, but I don't think so. There are so few things that happen in my life that I can say for certain it was the right move and writing is among a short list that I can claim without hesitation. I may never become a published success or as the woman I love very much often tells me "It will happen when you least expect it" and I'm fairly certain she is correct, because I don't ever expect it to happen. That doesn't mean I plan on giving up on writing, far from it, but it means I'd rather keep writing on the second novel and ignore the finished work sitting on my desk. The easy part is done, with the story on printed paper, however I can't find a single word needed when it comes to what is needed to help me, get that work into the light of day. Guessing it is why i'm told you cannot win the lottery without purchasing a ticket first.
