NaNoWriMo countdown: 1 day, 2 hours, 9 minutes and 48 seconds.
Evening everyone! It feels really late to me right now even though it's just before 10 PM. I stayed up too late last night and then spent too much energy this afternoon. You see, after church I went shopping and picked up some new pencils and a journal with which to outline my future novels in.
I figured I'd start with the one I'm writing now and just copy it over into the journal. After all, my math notebook is not a good neighborhood for my novel to grow up in. So I began to copy over the outline. Before I knew it, I was changing things, adding tweaks here and there, and generally writing a much more in depth outline. Five hours later and I've expanded upon the first section of my novel by a HUGE amount as well as built up a resistance to hand cramps. If I had any doubt I was a writer, it has been cleansed from me through the firery kiln of storybuilding.
Aside from letting you guys know that I've effecitvely pulled four pages worth of an outline out of an empty spot in my original outline, I really don't have another purpose here. I got some really good stuff today, stuff that I hope can make it into the final copy of the book.
Also more and more people are expressing interest in what my book will be when it's finished. This is extremely encouraging, and I am VERY much looking forward to when I can start selling this sucker. If I can ever start selling it.
Writing for my Future,
Marc Eshleman
