- I used to hate that too. - Ryuno
I decided to start a blog here about the progress of my novel here. writing is the most fun thing for me since skateboarding.
the story so far - after a week of making up the general storyline, characters, setting, etc. I started writing the first chapter. during 2 sleepless nights I wrote 4 pages. from here on, there will be updates every 2-3 pages of my novel.
7 pages written.
update on estimated length of 1st chapter - 12-16 pages.

9 pages written.
I had devided the 1st chapter into 4 parts, depending on the location of the main character. the 9th page started the 3rd part, the most difficult one for me to write. at least i thought so before starting it. but it turned out to be the same as the previous 2 parts. I try not to write without music and at least 2 bottles of beer by my side. it helps me write. Pity i cant smoke in my room...Still editing the previous pages. I have a feeling that if my novel gets published (not that i'm even going to try that), i'd still find tons of things to edit.
