I am not sure who said it first but I have had quote pounding through my head. "Writers write, authors rewrite"

The writing is very easy, most of the time. Now I am looking at all 8o,ooo wds of my MS and I think okay I wrote it, now what.

Now I have to make the choice, do I want to be a writer or an author?

Of course I think all aspiring writers have the same goal, to become a published author. This is where the perseverance needs to kick in. I want to see this story completed. Does that mean it has to get published for me to be happy? Well of course that would help, but knowing I wrote something, as good as I could with the abilities I posses, I think that will be enough for the first novel.

I will not be able to end there. I am excited about writing stories. I love sitting and letting the story pour out. So yes, I will write and then rewrite and rewrite if that is what it takes to be an 'author'.
