Welcome To A New Adventure!

I am in the process of writing my first novel. My goal is to finish it by the end of 2011. Feel free to comment on my progress and lets share our explorations into this strange exciting world of fiction.

Keeping Up The Pace

Well, I just finished another 600 words today. I've discovered it really helps me keep my momentum going if I don't force myself to write everything on that day itself. Leaving the next scene to the next day really gives me something to think about even on a subconscious level. I find myself ready and excited to write my next entry into this story that I'm creating. Some writing days are harder than others, and this technique really seems to help me keep up the pace.

Today I was writing a fight scene mostly. It's a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. I did my best to keep it interesting and in step with the characters. Of course, when I get into the rewrite later on in my process, it may change significantly. Who knows at this point? The cool thing is, I don't have to know. I know if I get to wrapped up in the details and getting it perfect now, I may never finish this. And not finishing is not an option!

Enjoy the rest of the week. And....Happy Writing!
