Still alive…
18 July, 2011
Still alive and kicking…. Currently 60k words into the new manuscript. Planning and outlining took roughly 3 months earlier this year (not counting the previous 3 years where the idea has been simmering in my brain).
Progress is admittedly slow and as mentioned in a previous post, it’s the biggest piece of writing I’ve attempted so far – a wide range of characters and two major settings. That said, it also incorporates a lot of stuff that I’ve learned (and relearned) since my last manuscript.
It’s a long road ahead but it will be good to get the first draft out. After that, I’ll be able to start on another idea, which will be a lot more modest and accessible – at least, that’s the plan.
