I had no idea you had written 5 books thus far, that's quite an amazing accomplishment. I've never been a great writer, I think I lack multiple aspects needed to be great, but I've decided that I am just going to write more this year. Whether it be through steemit posts, a pen and paper journal or some magical fantasy, I think the more often you express your thoughts through writing, the better you become.
Have you ever read 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami? I am reading it right now and having trouble putting it down. Its a monster of a novel (over 1100 pages) but the story grasps the reader right from the beginning and its an amazing journey of two separate but connected individuals. Murakami has got me begging for more haha.
It all adds up over time ;)
You do have to keep going at it, dogged determination is what's needed. I had to push myself hard to complete the books I've finished and I really do need to re-learn how to push myself again for the others I have waiting to be completed.
I've not read that book... I seem to be in the middle of books I want to read for pleasure and those I have to read for my job, but I'll keep an eye out for it if you're recommending it :)
