Well as of now I have around 52,000 words and I'm about halfway through my first draft. Things slowed down quite a bit with the Holiday but I did purchase the program WriteWay (
www.writewaypro.com) and I'm loving every second of it. It's really helping to organize my thoughts and make me think about all the little questions that I sometimes forget.
I'm really excited about my story. There are a couple familiar elements to it but I think what's important is how fresh and entertaining I make them when compared with anything else that's similar.
I set an August Deadline for the finishing of my first draft but I'm not sure I'm going to hit that.(Insert crazy 23 month old son who likes to keep daddy from writing
)
I know this isn't an easy business, and I may send this manuscript out to 100 agents and get nothing back, but ever since I started writing, I love it. I have an entire series planned out for what I'm currently writing, and I have a gigantic fantasy story that I think will be amazing.
Well, back to the writing board! Future updates TBA!
