I haven't forgotten the blog... sorta

I am so very sorry to all three people who read this (figures may be underestimated) for not updating you all on about what is going in the writing world. 

There are many factors for this. The first and more important one is that I am at university and despite the fact that writing fiction is more fun than writing essays, sadly essays come first. Sucky I know.

Secondly – Editing SUCKS! It doesn’t suck so much when you are going off notes but I am in the stage of slowly going through chapters and re-writing huge sections. However I am half way through editing before I give it to the select few for them to give a test reading seeing if it makes any sense. 

However as I may have already alluded too, the book I have just finished and started editing, is the first of a trilogy, and I have already planned out a fair bit of the next story and some scenes in the finial book as well as their working titles. So really in short I am excellent in procrastinating (I am meant to be writing a speech for a class right now).

I still have my 25^th of April dead line in sight. And I will work on it a bit more in the next week. Hopefully working through some chapters.

So I hope your world is slightly less busy as mine has seemed to turn into.

Stay Classy!

FINISHED

Hey All!

So this is just a quick blog post about Charlie Sheen.

No screw that, I am winning because I just finished my first draft.

I have finally finished my first draft with twenty chapters and 96,457 words. I think.

So now here comes the harder part. The Editing and Rewriting part. Lets not also forget that I have just started Uni. But really who cares because I just finished my first draft of my first original story.

I hope one day you will be able to read it.

Anyway I'll keep you posted

Reading, Writing and Robot Dancing

Writing Update 2

Hi All.

I did say that I was going to update on my writing so here it is.

I am about three chapters from finishing and have just hit 90,000 words. 

The problem is that I am not really liking the last chapter I wrote but that’s why God invented re-writing. This story that I am currently writing is one I have had in my head for a couple of years. I have tried to write it several times but each time I start it just doesn’t seem organic, the main characters voice sounds contrived, and then finally it happened.

It’s strange how things like that happen. How inspiration hits. It’s different for everyone. 

Anyway small blog today, just wanted to give a little heads up. Back to Microsoft Word ready to write some more.
