Welcome

This blog is just to record my experience of writing a story. That is something I have wanted to do all my life. I guess it is now or never.

I am just doing it for fun. I do not really intend to publish it. Mind you, I shall give that a try if I ever get it finished :).

The blog is only intended for me to keep a diary of my thoughts and for some of my close friends, especially those at the Richmond Writers' Circle (bless them for their patience).

If you have found your way here by accident, comments are welcome - especially the kind ones.

If you are, like me, attempting to write your first novel, please share the ups and downs.

Tiny steps

Really only a few lines today but I think I much improved Scene 4 which is the next I shall read at the Writer's Circle. I hear of professional writers getting down ten or more pages a day. I am sure that that is achievable. Gosh, I must be envied by would be writers who have a real job and families. I read sometimes of people who write between 10.00 in the evening and 2.00 in the morning. They make me feel guilty. At the Writer's circle we can each read our stuff for about 10 minutes - which seems fair. So if I write at that rate I shall do about 1,200 words a week. Not a lot I suppose but it does mean that if I can keep it up for a year I can do about 50,000 words. Even if they are not so great ones I shall feel as if I'm on my way.
