Come! Join my journey. |
| Hi everybody. It's a beautiful day here in central Virginia and I am sitting at my computer trying to find my way around this website. I joined over a year ago, but life got in the way and my paid subscription ran out. However, re-upped my membership and now I am more committed than ever to get my book written and published. I decided it was time. I'm not getting any younger. So, if anyone is interested in my progress stay tuned here. I plan to work on this book every day and then post here on my blog the progress I make and the interesting encounters I make along the way. After all you never know who or what my characters are going to run into. |
| Well, I want to share some good news with you. I have joined a local writers' group here in Lynchburg, VA. It is a critique group that I think will be a great help to me. There are several published writers there and they all give good feedback. Plus I think it will hold me accountable. They want everyone to read so I will have to work on my book so I will always have something. Another great thing is that there is one man there that has another group that meets on Sat. afternoon at a pup downtown at 2 p.m. that tosses around ideas. I think that will be most interesting so I think I will check that out. I know Roanoke had a great writers' group and I like all the people there but it didn't give me quite the same feel this one does. Now that I am meeting new people here with the same interest I think I may actually find I like it here. I have also finished the first draft of Chapter 1. I am not sure I started the novel off in the right place but feels right to me. I think it is a good thing to ask my new writer's group. Well I hope everyone has a great day. GG Lynn |
| Ok, so I promised myself and, most importantly, that I would post on this blog daily to keep you updated on my progress, and unfortunately, I have not followed through with that promise. But I am now committed to finishing my first draft by the end of the year. I don't know if I will make it, but I work well under pressure. As mentioned before, I checked out The Novel Factory and am learning a lot. It is like a whole writing class and publishing help all in one. So hey, how can I not get this done? I think it will help me a lot. I have always written by the seat of my pants, and it has never failed to get me into trouble I could not write myself out of. This software, however, keeps me focused and gives me a roadmap to follow. I think I am starting to sound like a commercial for the website, and I don't mean to. I am excited that I now have a plan to follow to get me from beginning to end. So now I promise to keep you posted. Maybe not every day, but definitely when I have accomplished another milestone. Have fun writing and I will talk to you again soon. GG Lynn |
