My WIP – Hell’s Tools

April 30, 2006 at 2:49 pm (Hell's Tools, My Writing, Writing Life)

At the moment I have planned and sketched out all characters and begun to write my first "serious" novel. I have called it "Hell's Tools" at the moment because the central conflict revolves around the items.

My word count so far is 11,500 words and I am working through it at a steady 500-1000 words a day, any more and I get tired and my writing becomes bland.

Of course, it is a dark fantasy, and the dark bits are REALLY DARK. Some of the evil things that have happened already make my bones shudder because its some of the most evil, horrific stuff I have ever written.

I love my villain and his backstory, I may even include some first person flash-backs. He is so simple yet so complex, I wanted to avoid the cliched Darth Vader knock off and add some originality into my characters. Apart from my villain I have a really cool cast of characters that I can't wait to pull into my plot (which is constantly changing).

Im really looking forward to completing this, then I will be having my first tast at publishing… Ill just focus on the writing for now. :)
