Progress of my first novel

  1. Slowly Getting There

    Well, another week has ended. I did not get to write as much as I would have liked due to the day job. Gotta pay the bills, don't you know. :rolleyes: However, I did write 1035 words today - my most to date. So, now my novel is up to a whopping 5122 words. *snickers* Ummm, I have just a 'few' more words to go. ;) In my defense, I have been doing research on various details of my story (places, etc).

The title page of the book has been formated. Found several good quotes to use throughout the book (thanks to Hubby)....
  4. Day 1 - Tis the Beginning

    After reading the latest chapter of a "Castle" fan fiction story, I was left thinking of how the author could have written it to add a twist. Within minutes, that thought morphed into "OMG! I just thought of a new novel!". So, I spent the afternoon and night joining and reading fiction writing forum posts to pick up ideas on the writing process and what potential pitfalls to avoid.
