work in progress.... a novel called Wild Phlox Season

I know I said I would have a video, but not only didn't i finish putting the video together, I didn't finish that painting from last week...
 instead, i started another, did a bunch of little sketches, and wrote. 
It is, for some reason, embarrassing to admit I am trying to write a novel.
 I have no writing experience, except of course I read and write a lot. 
But I have never tried to write a novel. 
It seems too daring and self-important.
And then if it's bad, it would be humiliating, and if I never finish it would be one more thing I didn't complete...
 the list of why not to admit this out loud is endless. 
But I am trying anyways because these 6 women are in my head, and they do stuff in my imagination all the time, so why not try to get it all out on paper.
 I have been slowly working on it since November.
And I have had the idea since I did 29 faces 2 years ago...
Sometimes, writing it for me has been about sketching things from it, or drawing maps, writing out their family trees and fun stuff. 
Really, I have no idea on how to write a novel so I am just stumbling along and we'll see.....
