Slight Distraction

Well, as always, I got a little distracted with my writing..


But today is the day... I'm starting anew AGAIN!!


I also decided to go with the third idea instead of the second one. I even already started changing it to 3rd person.. YAY! Me!

Well heres to writing..

How about I start at the beginning...

So, in order to write a novel you have to know what to write about..

I already have one novel idea completed. Its something I wrote 2 years ago.. Its actually pretty good except I feel the story has been done before - typical love story with a happily ever after ending... BLAH! That story is a script so it could be a potential playwright or screenplay. It's only approximately 35k words though so a lot will have to be added to it..

Then I have this other novel idea that is 1/3 completed. Now this is a real good, never-been-done idea.. That one is also script and is only about 13k words.

And lastly, I have another idea that is in novel/dialogue form [so a plus however its in first-person present tense.. so negative..] but is only 1/8 completed. It's a measly 8k words.. That idea is pretty good. It's one that touches more to home..

My dilemma is which idea to go forward with. I like all of them.. None of them is at the hand-in stage so I will need to work on whichever one I choose.

UGH!! Decisions, decisions, decisions...

The third one is different.. I never ran across a story line like that one before... The first one is finished so of course I'm swaying to that one a little bit more so I better take it out of the equation all together. [No need for laziness this soon in the game]. So its up to the second and third idea.. Hmm.... The second one is more fun, definitely a page turner. The third one is more conservative. A page turner as well but for different fingers.

I think I will choose the second one because it has an external conflict. The character in the third one have a conflict but its more of a fight-with-yourself type thing..

So, second idea it is...

Here's to noveling...

Back at ONE

So... I planned on writing a novel in 2009. 2009 came, 2009 went and no novel. It's the end of 2010 and still no novel. I refuse to be defeated by fear. I started on the mission, got sidetracked, but I'm back.

2011 will be the year of the novel.

I will dedicate this blog to my thought process - sometimes it helps to put it all out there..

Well, here goes everything..

Here's to noveling!!
