My novel is moving along quite nicely. I’ve written about 3,000 words alone today and continue to feel inspired. The story addresses some pretty fundamental issues. If was Philip K. Dick I would just take speed and finish a first draft within three days. But, alas, I’m not a speed freak, so it’s going to take considerably longer.
I might finish a private first draft in, say, six months if I really push at it and am faithful.
I feel like I’m in a relationship. I feel like I’m dating a really fun, really attractive woman. She’s age appropriate, is cool and carries me home after I get wasted.
Anyway, writing a novel is quite solitary.
This book could easily be turned into a movie, though. It’s really interesting.
