After the second day of the Boot Camp workshop, I feel more enthused about my creative work. The focus really was on drive and getting it out there. I feel like all artists have the same struggle; creativity is 50% of the work, and the other 50% is composed of all the other administrative tasks that go with that. Ivan Coyote was really effective at passing on a passion for writing and the easy and attainable way of getting a complete work done. The thing to bear in mind is that whatever work you do today will be more work than you had done yesterday and it's a positive step towards getting to the end.
Although it feels like this is 'stuff you should know', knowing that it is practical advice from a writer that employs these techniques gives it some kind of gravitas, making it seem publishable and attainable. A little work each day will eventually go a long way.
The workshop was good enough to make me want to start writing something right now...
