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.

Doing it the Dorothea Brande way

Well, as I said I would I've been trying the last couple of mornings to follow her prescription which, as I said, does make sense to me. I was successful in getting straight to writing after awaking ar 7.00 am. This morning I even had coffee made the night before and kept in a thermos according to her recommendation. I kept at it but I can't say, I felt all that inspired, I started at 7.10 and by 8.00 I was folding. Perhaps, it was because I was revising Ch 4 Sc 3 rather than writing something completely new.  And I didn't, one thing and another, get to writing through the rest of the day. I shall persevere as well as I can though as I do think her approach sounds like a good one based on all I have learnt.
