A First Novel
Come watch what happens when someone gives up and writes their first novel. |
|
In 1994, I quit studying business in order to follow what seemed, at that time, the only field that truly interested me: creative writing. Almost twenty years later, In October 2011, at the age of forty, after years of procrastination and fear, I threw in the towel and started writing a novel. This blog will follow my thoughts and processes as I move from a rough draft of 120,000 words to submission to publishing houses, and, hopefully, beyond. Why would I do any of this? Please read. |
