Write a second novel.

I gave up on the novel, and am now working on a new one. Much more confident. Should get rough draft done by Februrary.

I’m at 50,000, but I’ve kind of stalled. I know where I want the plot to go, but I’ve lost my map, and am now circling and circling rather than moving the story forward. I may have to leave the road altogether and find a new path.

It’s going to be a lot larger than I had planned, although an edit should pare down some of the excess. But it’s finally moving, and I think I can get a first draft done before x-mas.

First 13,000 words done. I’ve got the whole plot sketched out in my head, but as usual, getting it down on paper is the hard part.

I’m only five thousand words into my second novel. But I have the whole thing plotted out!
It’s killing me that I don’t have enough time to work on it more. Stupid thesis!

I have five more pages today than yesterday. I’d like for it to turn into something. It is (surprise, surprise) starting off with a relationship that supposedly should not exist in the first place. I’m not sure I can do it justice.

I wrote a second novel, and it’s being published this april.

I’ve just completed my first novel (signing a contract next week!), but now what? I’m not Stephen King, I don’t write 10,000 words a day. I have very few ideas. There’s one that’s been running around in my head for awhile, but I don’t know how feasible it is.

Let’s face it – I’m lazy, and having completed even one novel is a wonderment. Is that all I have in me?
