The Beginning
15000 words and the beginning and opening to the story as a whole is done.My MC has finally discovered himself and his aim and I have had a slight theme switch.
Various things have happened that I didn't want to so another plot revision looks hopeful.
Enough?
After reaching 14, 000 words I am half way through my plot that was planned to be 100,000 words. I already know that I can expand earlier chapters but I am starting to wonder whether I have enough to write, I may have to re look the plot or lower my target significantly, what ever I do the minimum I shall write is 80,000. I shall have to add in possibley another 40 scenes to write.
Oh Joy… Tip: Plot more than you think.
The 60 Page Mark
Well I wrote 800 words today and I reached the end of my 50th page, I’m really pleased with myself because Im relativley happy with what I have wrote. Yes there are many things that need changing but as I progress into my novel I pick up hints from experianced writers and I include them in my work.
My writing is becoming more mature, I owe this to reading epic fantasy. Reading, apparantly, consciously and subconsciously shapes your writing to be more mature and in turn much better to read.
Well onto page 61…
My WIP – Hell’s Tools
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.
