On Friday, December 11, 2009 I started my very first novel. For the past twenty years I have dreamed of nothing else but writing a novel. After five kids and two failed marriages, I have finally seen the light. I know now in order to be a writer I have to write. Ya, I know…duh! Whether I’m writing a letter, blogging, jotting down ideas, or actually writing part of my novel I’m still writing.
I made a pledge to myself and my family that I will sit down and write every day. I know that I must make time to write. So, I have set a goal for writing my novel. My goal is to write at least 1,000 words a day Monday through Friday until my novel is finished. I will take weekends off from my novel. But, if I feel the urge to write on the weekends I’ll write.
Since beginning on friday, I have three chapters finished. The total word count so far is…
3,650 words in three days!
So, as you can see, I’m well over my word count goal. I’m very happy about that. I just hope and pray that I can continue in this manner. Because, I know that there will be days when I won’t be able to write at all. Some days, with my Fibromyalgia, I can’t even lift my arm let alone get out of bed.
Please wish me luck:
