The whiny story of slogging through writing my first novel.

Not Too Shabby

Yesterday I wrote a few paragraphs. I'm in a weird place, writing-wise, because I can see that I can do it, and I'm getting older. My options get more limited by the day and I really want to see something published.

And, I'm not that into the story I'm writing. Maybe other people will like it, but I'm thinking it's kinda lame. On the other hand, I really want to finish it, so I can have a finished novel to show a publisher that I can do it.

But man, I really need to get past the first three chapters. I keep tweaking and revising the little I've written so far (about nine thousand words) instead of pushing on. The words I wrote yesterday are labeled chapter four, but it should be chapter three. See, I need to arrange my chapters better. I need to re-organize. But I need to push on. Argh!
