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.
\nI made a pledge to myself and my family that I will sit down and write every day.  I know that I must <\/b>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.
\nSince beginning on friday, I have three chapters finished. The total word count so far is…<\/p>\n

3,650 words in three days!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Please wish me luck:<\/p>\n
