Well, I’m almost at the midpoint of the first draft of the novel. I have no idea how many words it is because, it’s the first draft and I don’t want to limit myself when it comes to telling the story.
But as of moment I’m feeling fairly confident. I can’t promise you my writing is all that great, but the story is really cool. I’m already sketching how some pretty significant tactical changes for the second draft. I have a whole lot of work to do, no matter what.
For the time being, my audience is myself. I just want to tell a great story that I enjoy. Everyone else can fuck off for right now. But that is going to change once I start writing the second draft. I’m going to care a lot more about word count once that starts. The point right now is to entertain yourself as the writer. The point is to finish the first draft.
You can’t edit a blank page, as they say.
Anyway. Let’s rock.
