Yesterday I didn't write a whole lot, but I came forward in leaps and bounds in my ideas and plot twists. I got a lot of help from my husband again. I really don't know what I would do without him. He forces me to not have writer's block!
I'm going to be picking up some books from the library on Wednesday so I can do some research about the setting and formalities of certain things that are included in my book.
I've been working on re-writing my beginning so the first thousand words are out of this world. I realized my beginning was too boring and wouldn't really give the reader any idea of where the book is going. So I have included my best writing styles, (action, dialogue, emotion, awesome setting, foreshadowing...) and it is going well. I have no idea how long this book is going to be. The way we keep adding more and more complications to it, I'd say it will be pretty long, but you never know. I need to figure out how many book pages are the equivalent of one Microsoft Word page.
Another little update on my life is that I can now read eBooks on my laptop. I downloaded free software called Adobe Digital Editions, and I can download library books on there which is pretty cool. I'm reading more than I ever have now that I'm writing a novel, because it's how I get full of creativity, and it helps me to see what I like about other authors and what I can do to better my writing.
I guess that's about it for now. Back to writing! And just in case I don't write another post for a while, I hope you all have a great Christmas!
