Well thing are not progressing as quickly as I had hoped but I did set my self rather high goal. My new years resolution was to complete a novel by the end of the year. So far I have not much closer to completing it. I think the main reason is a completely misjudged the sheer amount of preplanning you have to do to be in a position to start a novel length story. All I have done so far is short stories. I’ve enjoyed these immensely but they are a different thing entirely. One where you don’t actually need to worry about where the story is going. With a novel You do.
So here i am completely behind schedule, wondering when you have actually done enough research. I fear if spend to much time planning and researching I will never get it done.
Something that has made starting a lot easier is the idea that this novel will never see the light of day. As I am not to worry about getting it in to a publishable state. So the quality of the story matters less. That is the only thing that allows me to even think about starting.
Well will do for an update for now peeps.
