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.

Learning on the job


Seeing as how I am learning on the job I read as I go books on how to do it. There are a lot of them. Many are worthy without being special. But a few I really have found helpful - I think this is a personal thing. One I am enjoying at the moment is Louise Doughty's 'A novel in a year'. This is a gentle 'let's have a cup of tea and talk about it' approach with some well thought out exercises. And yes I do wish I had done the exercises before I started! (I did do some of them, mind.)
