Writing of a Novel

     Another twelve hour shift made getting any writing done very difficult, but I was able to spend some time on my novel. I began chapter 28 this evening. I wish to be able to provide the depth of a Charles Dickens’ character, so that I can then give the details of their maiming and murder. With pen and paper, the options are infinite. As they say, inspiration only strikes if you are applying the craft. Today inspiration brought two minor characters back together, who in earlier chapters was made obvious of their drifting apart.

Writing of a Novel

I began writing a novel in September of 2011. I’ve completed 140 pages of the first draft. Because of time restraints, it has been difficult to spend the hours I need to complete this work. My resolution for this year is to complete this novel. Although not my first attempt at writing a novel, I am hoping that this will be my first to finish all the way to the end. I already have passed up many new ideas in order to finish this one project. I guess I have many writing ideas but little time to complete them. 27 Chapters completed!
