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.

Day 5 - falling behind

Well here I am on Day 5 of the year.I am 493 words into the third Scene of Chapter 10. Chapter 10 is meant to be my big Act 1 finale. There should be about 5 more scenes in it. After than I plan 6 or 7 more chapters. I am about 2/3 of the way through I think. But this might be too long for what publishers want and I don't really know if the rewrites will make it longer or shorter. I do know that this calendar year I really need to finish the first draft and the first rewrite. I think that means getting through the first draft by the end of June at least. Right now though, I am already behind and the best I can do is to work on something that is okay to read on Wednesday. Also I know I have to get some of the dreary admin done that I constantly procrastinate over. But if I don't I will get into big trouble and then my mind will lose whatever creativity it has. So I need a thousand words and it is Sunday night. Really how hard can it be!!!!!
