A Novel Beginning: Weeks 10 thru 13
Weeks 10 through 13 were quite an emotional rollercoaster for me with many ups and downs…
I truly hoped to finish my book so that I could enter it into a contest in November but I guess my hopes were a little high. One major distraction recently was an injury to my eye so that I’m having a very difficult time working on the computer, much less writing. Typing is difficult due to the strain it puts on my eye so I have to take time away from the computer for awhile.

I love my story. I truly hope others do too. I would be disappointed if those in the know say no to my book but I have faith. Of course, I’m going up against others who also believe in their stories. However, my book, once it is completed, will be an accomplishment, whether it’s published or not. Only time will tell. Until the book is done, it’s not ready to be read by anyone.
Today is a holiday and I’m taking the day off…from real work anyway. I decided to spend the day writing and it was a very productive day. I think I wrote more today than I ever have and I even worked backwards and edited some. I know I planned to wait but as I continued to write there were areas I wanted to touch back on based on how the story was coming along. Plus, I had to finish with the timeline of what the characters have done/said already. Now the timeline is up-to-date for future reference and I can continue to add to it as I write. Overall, I am very pleased with the amount of work accomplished. If every day could be like this, the book would easily be finished by the end of the month. Life, though, is a fickle thing so I’ll just take each day as it comes along.
