I am going to be gone for most of the day, so I don't have much time to get writing done.
That being said, it's a very nice feeling to see my novel finally taking shape, not just in my head, or on all my random pieces of notepaper, but typed out on a document on the computer. There's still a long way to go, but the progress I've been making recently has made the process seem less daunting.
My father in law is a published writer (of nonfiction). The way he put it, "The first book you write is the one you give birth to." Not only that, it's like raising your first child, I think - at least from the descriptions my mom has given me. I am new to this entire process. I've written plenty of stuff before - childish "books", papers, short stories, even a little poetry - but this is a brand new experience. I just love creating the story and bringing the characters to life!
I've been thinking for awhile of doing posts to introduce my characters. I may do it sometime soon. There's a balance to maintain of talking about what I'm doing and not giving away major spoilers to those who are going to want to read the finished product!
Now time to forge ahead on my draft for a bit before I leave!
