Hello again
I'm a relatively new writer and started writing my first novel January 1st 2008. For almost three months straight I worked ten to fifteen hour days on it until I managed to hammer out my first rough draft. This is without a doubt one of the hardest things I have ever done and was completely burned out by April. For over two months I stayed away, then about two weeks ago I bought a laser printer and bound a copy. I am starting to get excited about it again, and have started trying to read a chapter ever mourning, making notes on the pages as I read them for the next draft. As of right now, my book is approximately 130,000 words and 22 chapters, though I'm sure by the final draft will grow some. Well this is all for now, supper is calling
