Ladies and gentleman we have completion. The first draft is done. I finished it on Thursday and this is the first time I have sat down at the keyboard since. I needed some days off and I took them. It felt great. I played a lot of video games and… Read the Rest »
Welcome to the shortest novel update ever. Today is my birthday and I have been informed by my brother that I am suppose to take the day off. I was going to write something yesterday but I was still recovering from food poisoning. If you have never had food poisoning,… Read the Rest »

Well after weeks of false starts and preparation, I have officially hit the gas pedal. This was easily the best week of writing I have had. Made my word count goal every night. I finished up chapters one and two and should be done with three by tomorrow. It was… Read the Rest »
