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.

Why this Blog

I am starting yet again to write a story. I haven't ever finished one yet. I write for the pleasure of writing, more so perhaps for the challenge - it isn't always a pleasure to face a blank sheet of paper. I guess I write in much the same way that other people might do cross-word puzzles, or play a musical instrument. It is a hobby.

I don't intend to publicize this blog much - perhaps just share it with one or two people. Mainly it is for myself. I want to try to keep to the discipline of recording my progress (or otherwise) each day, jotting down what I can for 15 minutes at midnight. The sorts of things I shall write about are the process of writing, what advice has worked for me, how I have met the challenges - that sort of thing. It would be nice if one day this should be useful to others starting out to write a first novel.

As I complete chapters to a reasonable standard I shall post them on Google Drive, which seems to work well for that sort of thing. I'll put links in the blog as I go.
