First blog post

  1. Err right, hey everyone. My names David and I'm from Manchester, UK. I'm 21 and a bit boring I guess! ;)

    Anyways. Just testing the blog features as I've just found out about it. First blog for me as well. :)

    I'm currently writing a fantasy book and it's looking like I'll progress with it. I have a tonne of stuff I've stopped working on since starting writing seriously several months ago, normally before the first chapter or two is complete. My record is 6000 and odd words for 2 chapters. I'm currently on chapter 3 of this one I'm writing with around 3500 words. But I need to rewrite chapter 2 entirely and chapter 3 is being wrote.

    I also have a crime story and a fantasy one based in an american civil war type era on hold.

    I'll probably just update this blog to say how I'm coming along with the writing.

    Sounds interesting. I find that I always want to rewrite a whole chapter I have written. So what I do is I write one chapter and then revise it right away. Then I write the next chapter and then revise chapter one(again lol) and two. It sounds tedious, but if I don't then I get frusterated at how much I need to fix. Hopefully your not as anal as me and will be able to get some real writing done. Congrats on your first blog. (my first blog was yesterday-virgin bloggers unite!)

    As, I probably will at some point! :)

    WordWizard: That's how I'm looking at it yes. My mindset: I don't want to write a lot of a story only to find out I have to cut a vast majority of it.

    Shameless plug here as well: I'm kinda wondering what to do with the second scene of the fantasy work I have on the forum. I've had it on three forums now and no-one wants to touch the second scene with a ten foot pole. I know that either means it's good or its bad and no-one wants to say anything. ;)

    Kinda frustrating as I'm writing the third chapter based on the first chapter. Yet, I've had the first scene critiqued. Apart from the additions I made to the first scene after the critiques which made it worse, I know that it is largely fine.
