My novel
Well, I've started writing a novel. This idea has been lurking in my mind for quite some time, and suddenly, a few days ago, I was overwhelmed with the urge to sit down and write an outline.
It looks rather promising - the outline, that is.
But now, the grunt work starts. I've aimed for a wordcount of between 50K to 75K words and I've about 9 chapters marked out. So, at the upper limit, I've about 8500 words per chapter to pump in. I'm aiming to complete the first draft by this year end.
I started the actual writing just yesterday. In about half an hour, I managed to put down about 1000+ words. That felt good. But I also realized that it would take me much more than that to achieve my goal.
Well, at least I've started - that's definitely a step forward!
And miles to go before I sleep...
