You’ve probably been here before, let me know if this sounds familiar, a friend asks you how your writing career is going.

You don’t know what to say. You’re out to brunch with a close friend, or you’re meeting up with an ex for old time sake. Someone you have known for a while, and when they ask about your writing, you tell them the same thing you told them four or five years ago: you are still working on the novel.

You’ve been trying to figure out how to finish writing your novel for a long time. It’s a perplexing problem to have and a tough nut to crack because there doesn’t really seem to be a linear way for, or a formula you can follow, in order to get from the first step to the last.

When it comes to novel writing, each one is a unique journey for the other. This is why many people can be bogged down in procrastination, writer’s block, and being paralyzed by indecision for many years as they “work on a novel.”

The blank page can be very intimidating. It is not surprising not many people find themselves avoiding the blank page or the unfinished draft of their novel for weeks on end, opting to put it out of their minds. They slog away at their day job, always exhausted from it. Life gets in the way, the job gets in the way. Another year goes by and you may only spend a total of less than 20 days working on the novel, it has hardly made any progress.

But the underlying ideas for your novel still excite you, and you still want to talk about them to people. But increasingly it is becoming something you don’t want to talk about. You’re embarrassed at your lack of progress and you are afraid people will think you are a pretender or a poser.
