Getting things rolling again...
So, as I posted a few days ago, I haven't been working on the book as much in the last week. I've been too distracted with racing, but it's back full-force now. Last night I sat down with a pen a paper (that's when I feel most creative) and wrote a knew chapter one, the old-fashioned way.
I've said this before but I'll say it again, it's a shame that so much writing is done on a computer. I know it's the fasted way to do things now, but that doesn't make it better. I have a pretty hard time really feeling creative in front of a glowing screen. It needs to be done though.
Although, I've noticed that for important parts in the book, like the original chapter one, the new chapter one and an important speech that won't happen until the middle of the book, I've written them all down. They are really important parts in my mind and I want them to be perfect, and I can do that better on paper. They will all be typed eventually though, the original chapter one already is.
So anyway, the new chapter one is something that I had been thinking about for a while. I really wanted to start the book off from another person's point of view, not my charactors. I think that a) Will add some suspense to the story and b) Give a really good hint as to why things that are about to happen, happen. It's actually a really dark, sad chapter but I like what I have so far. I'm sure it's going to change many times before the book is actually finished but that's just how it goes, I guess.
I know I've been so distracted by racing recently, but after diving back into things, I realize how much I love writing this book. This blog helps too. Getting my thoughts out really clears things up for me and makes me want to write more. So thanks for reading!
Anyway, I'm going to go get back to it.
