Shell-shocked - but yay! 2 weeks ago

I’ve just finished the first draft of my novel, a little shorter than I anticipated, at 74000 words – (I somehow had two copies of one of the chapters in there, which had bolstered the length. Whoops!)

I actually feel slightly shell shocked to have done it.
Now I’m going to print it, and put it away for a couple of weeks – then read, and start the rewrite.

I’m just writing the penultimate scene – the big action climax. I’d better not stop long – I’ll lose my momentum! After that, I just have the “tie up loose ends” kind of bit at the end.

Unfortunately I haven’t written for 5 weeks because of work commitments … sometimes there really are no free seconds. Well, I got back to it last night … I’m currently just past 67,500 words – good job :-) We’re building up to the climax :-o

I started 8 months ago

My novel is a skeleton right now, I started writing, then stopped: I needed to sort the plot out first. I want it finished by the end of the year, so keep a lookout for it…

Getting there 8 months ago

My first draft passed 55,000 words last night, and is definitely over halfway through telling the story.

I’ve also joined http://writingforums.org and the discussions on there are helping me think about focusing my writing better.

I’m trying to write something every day… mostly I make it. Sometimes it’s a lot, sometimes it’s just a couple of sentences, but it keeps me moving forward.

The first draft of my current fiction project has just passed 31000 words. I’ll take as many words as I need to tell the story, but 90000 is a reasonable length for a novel, so I’m happy with my progress.
