I decided to start a blog here about the progress of my novel here. writing is the most fun thing for me since skateboarding.
the story so far - after a week of making up the general storyline, characters, setting, etc. I started writing the first chapter. during 2 sleepless nights I wrote 4 pages. from here on, there will be updates every 2-3 pages of my novel.
7 pages written.
update on estimated length of 1st chapter - 12-16 pages.
decided to write rough drafts at work by hand - in the office, in the subway and buses. 2 days of writing drafts, coming home and editting the hell out of them. Trying to follow my notes, i still include events that pop up in my head as i write. Fun is fun, but i still have to look up words in the dictionary and edit each sentence at least 1 time and constantly add new events and descriptions into previous pages, which i thought i was done with. Thinking about how to write the next sentence for 5 to 10 minutes is a regular occurance. avoiding unnecessary repetition of words proved to be more difficult than anticipated.
