1st in awhile

So, I put some things down on "paper" today. It wasn't much, but something is better than nothing. While deciding what it was I wanted to center my writing on today, I was thinking about the idea of "what if it was up to us, whether we were judged or not?" This in itself, brings about a lot of questions. What if we were allowed this? If we were, does this mean it's purgatory? Whether you're a believer or not, what else would you call it?

As this story gets further and further along, what I'm trying to accomplish is to get everyone to see, that we all need a belief system of one kind or another, religous or otherwise. I'm not trying to say "There is a god!", because that is simply not right. I am trying to get everyone to realize, that in one way or another, you will come to your judgment, and you will have to own up to everything you've done.

Something to think about anyway...

Character development

Tonight, I've mainly been working on character development. It's a bit backwards, as far as story development goes, but with the story I want to tell, this is the way I need to do it. Plus it's my book, so I get to do whatever I want! Of all the characters in my story, this is the one character most important to my thesis.

I'm not going to give you any specifics, but I will drop a few hints: The character(s) won't be liked by many people. This party will bring the words "son of a bitch" and "monster" to mind, when you finish the story.

I'm back!!

After an extremely disheartening virus, I am back on the scene with my book! The virus erasing my book, was probably the best thing for me, in hindsight. It allowed me to reflect on what I was doing, and forced me to decide whether I was telling my story, the way I truly wanted to.

So, barring any new catastrophic erasure of my work, I'll be writing during any and all of my free time, until I'm done. Word up, and don't let the man bring you down!

Over the last few days, I've been working on my ending for the novel. As most of you know-the writer will often put the words down, as he or she see's fit, (i.e. not in chronological order). As much, I have written down a few of my ideas for the ending. It is without a doubt a good, (if not great) ending. The protagonist/ antagonist, have their "confrontation" that will throw most for that, "left hook" that they're looking for in a novel.

However, I have come to the issue of not knowing how to physically get it down on digital paper. Not that I can't write it, but more like maybe I'm not sure if I can. The thing about that statement is, Whether I like it or not, is all but irrellevant. These pages will be written, and re-written half a dozen times by the time the book is finished.

I don't know...I suppose this is all a part of the process. This isn't a, "block". I have an outline, I have my ideas, and I have my theme. I think maybe I just need to put the, "pen to the paper" and just make it happen.

I think I just proved why writing is so important. I think I just gave myself a quick therapy session...

Today, was quite a day for my story. As I was perusing my notes, (what little there are) I was connecting a few entries with my test pages and was able to come up with, (what I think) will make for one heck of a character.

For obvious reasons I can't just tell you what I'm up to. I can however, tell you that- while my story will not be horribly long, it will contain much of what I myself as a person and a man have learned about myself and life over the past few years.

Not that putting ones self into a character is a horribly original idea, I do use my past experiences in my stories, which helps me to bring my "real" self to the surface which helps me to let it all out. So, with that said- this story will have allot of personal meaning to me, and really be telling to the people in my life as to how I feel about the things I've done.

On a side note, if you go over to my twitter account, and look at some of the older posts you will see that many of them go into detail about a house "I own". Well, these posts are meant to serve as a bit of a back story for my novel. While I haven't posted anything on the subject in over a week, I haven't abandoned the idea by any means.

As I said before, if you'd like to read what I'm up to with the novel or just me in general, be sure to hit my Twitter up as well. I look forward to anyone coming over and seeing what I'm up to or commenting on what I'm doing for whatever reason.

So, there it is. A summery of my latest forays into my book writing campaign. If not brief it is some what telling. As I make my leave, I will leave you with this: Christ uttered the warning, "Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon thee,"

Info Update: Novel updates

If you're interested in my updates, but want them in a more timely fashion, then be sure to check out my Twitter . I can't guaruntee what you'll see when you go there, but I do quite a bit of updating there as well. My blog is used for more significant progression, as well as the release of the chapters.

Keep it here!

Where do I go from here?

So, here it is folks! This is the place where some time in the future, I'll be posting chapters of my book. While admittedly it is a slow process, I think it's best if I break it up a bit. It gives me a bit more to focus on when the target is smaller, and a more narrow site to aim for.

The book is literally in the first couple of pages right now, but I have some great stuff to put down, and I think when a few chapters are done you'll be as hopeful as I am for the outcome of the story as a whole.

So, please feel free to let me know what you think, give me a few ideas, or just drop me a line or two. Either way, I want you to enjoy yourself every time you visit me.
