There are times I...I can't imagine not writing. There are times I wanted to give up. Fear of failure, fear of success, running out of ideas, and lack of discipline are the contributing factors. In some ways, I'm surprised I haven't given up. I'm fortunate to have the support of friends and family. They spur me to keep at it. And the fact that I love to write is what ultimately drives me. <br /><br />So yes, I have reasons to quit, but the reasons to keep going are stronger. <br /><br />G. R.

But be wary of buying too many 'how to' books. I'm an absolute divil for it and the writing process can then become overwhelming when you've loads of different advice. <br /><br />I do recommend 'on writing' by Stephen King as it's mix of memoir and how to. Another (which I plan to read) is writing down the bones which is meant to amazing too.
