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.

Sounds like a plan?
I am ploughing on with the story at a not very quick pace of about 1800 words a week (as much as I can read in 10 minutes at the Richmond Writers' Circle. My plan is to drive on to the end just to get it finished in a reasonable first draft form. The second draft will be to iron out all the plot problems that I have created in the first. There are likely to be quite a lot of these! The third draft will be to make sure that all the characters behave in character. The fourth will be to make sure the dialogue is in tune with character. After that I don't know but I'm determined to cross bridges as I come to them.
