finish my first book

Have this fabulous idea for a book that goes along with my Single Girl website. Can’t wait till it is finished. Working on it now. First I have to get my SG website up first but this will come out after SG. Both will have release parties too.

Can’t wait!!! Will keep you updated

Thanks, by the way, to S. who gave Corsa a name, which for some reason made her story come to me easier. When she travels, it is a salute to you. :)

This would go a lot faster if I wasn’t overwhelmed with new stories faster than I can write them down. I keep scribbling new outlines and then returning to the poor neglected “first book”.

I read somewhere that word count corresponds to book type like this:
Novelette – 15K – 30K words
Novella – 30K – 40K words
Short Novel – 40K – 60K words
Novel – 60K+ words

Right now I’m just a little over roughly 54K words. I’m so close to having the minimum amount of words needed to be novel length and I’m only about 70% of the way there.
I really do have to thank Christ for this wonderful gift I have been blessed with.

( Sorry for the fragmented title ). In any case,ahem, BWHAHAHAHA! I’ve finally made it a third of the way there! I feel so elated! I have to thank God for this, he’s given me the ability, will and talent to do what I am doing today. Wish me luck and please regard me kindly!

I tell stories for entertainment all the time. This is a story I have told often enough that it’s getting repeat requests, so finally I just started writing it as a book.

I’ve always wanted to be a writer. It’s in my blood, but it only boils when IT wants to, not when I want it to. But really, there are so many workshops and tricks and tactics out there that I have no excuse beyond pure unadulterated laziness.

I am a good writer. I know that I am. Other people who have read my work know that I am, and not just my mom. I’m not The Next Great American Author, but I can build a competent sentence and tell a damn good story. I’ve been plotting and scrapping and rewriting and tweaking this story for FIFTEEN YEARS. Hell, it can even be traced back to short stories I wrote when I was like ten years old. I finally sat down to write it about three years ago, and I churned out a good 150 pages worth of material. Good stuff, too.

But somewhere along the lines, my steam petered out. A lot of it has to do with a particular scene that I feel needs to be there, but can’t figure out how to fit it in or even how to write it. But I need to get past this somehow. I need to finish the book, and then finish the entire trilogy that it is a part of. This is my baby. It needs to grow up!

I’ve been working on my books for years and not finishing them. My clients keep asking for my books, my books and I’m getting no where. I have finally changed my life so I now have the TIME to do it, I just need some motivation.

i have been designing my plot for a little over 2 years and i am almost ready to start writing…i have does several chapters of diff versions and i almost have the perfect plot…i am in 10th grade and hopefully ill be done by the time im outta school. I still have about 4 months worth of plot planning to do but i hope to be done with that by christmas and start writing in january….wish me luck, its a fantasy sorta thing!

The flying saucer didn’t come to me when I flagged it down. Naughty, naughty, flying saucer.
