From a literature point of view, where would green-texting fall under?

What is a realistic goal to set for myself in regards to my first writing project?

Luckily I should be published before the year is out anyways. Finally gonna get to live that literary lifestyle baby! I'm actually just hoping the book allows me to quit my normal job amd focus on other interests in the mean time.

How's this for an opening?

>There was nothing that insinuated the strange happenings that would befall that evening. The warm summer breeze toyed with the desiccated grassland surrounding a rustic farm cottage. Thin wafers of loose paint danced with the wind and, every so often, removed themselves from the decrepit wooden walls and journeyed wherever the hastened air would fancy.

How do I tell the difference between wanting to be a writer, and liking the idea of being a writer?

Lost things matter for their absence, not their actual value, but the void they leave behind. The most precious may only leave a gap, and the mundane a gaping maw. Deep within, questions roam aimlessly, surfacing seemingly at random and vanishing again at a moments notice. Giving nothing but a glimpse of themselves, and the answers that could be. Yet, in time we find the greatest comfort, and an even greater unrest. Grains of sand come and go, unmourned and forgotten, keepsakes of moments that will never be ever again. We are not who we are, but who we pretend to be, and what others see in us. No one will know, try as they may.

Of meaning? None. Maybe.

Of life? Plenty

Of search? Never ending.

Anybody here planning on doing a Nanowrimo?

So, I want to write, or at the very least I think I want to write.

But I'm not sure how to get started.
