So I've been percolating a book idea and am excited about it, and think I have a good amount of natural writing talent. But I also understand that regardless of talent it takes a lot of practice to write well and that my first novel will be shit.
On the one hand I want to write the book that I want to write. Duh. But my lack of experience makes me think I should shelve the idea for later so I can get the shitty writing out of the way first, otherwise I'll be wasting the idea or will have to rewrite the entire thing anyway.
Anyone know this feel?
If your first thing is shit, nobody will read it and then you can freely do the same thing again without anybody noticing because, like I said, nobody will have read the first attempt.

start with short stories. do what you want as nobody is going to read them.
write a shit short story using your idea....then re-write it as a novel when you're a good writer ina decade or so

That's one sexy bird.
I've also thought about writing instead of writing anything decent for the past couple months now... usually come up with a good idea for something every month, but I am not writing anything because of my current behavioral patterns. Thought about it recently and decided to write short stories about the concepts since I've thought about how to write well and took notes summarizing these thoughts for an even longer time
