Well, here I go. I’m going to post regular notes here, to keep you up to date with what I’ve been doing. You should be able to comment (assuming I’ve got the technology right!) so please do let me know your thoughts. I’ll be reviewing them before they appear, so keep it clean and polite, or I’ll delete you!
Just as a starter, I have just completed the first draft of Chapter 6 of my book, for the sake of this blog I’ll call it ‘Alex’s story’ which gives very little away!
The first 5 chapters just rolled out on their own. Chapter 6 was a little more tricky as it involved a couple of important turning points which I wanted to be sure were handled properly.
I have a handful of readers, waiting eagerly for each chapter as I complete them, so I know whether the story is ‘working’ or not. They are primed to be brutally honest, and have prompted a few tweaks here and there.
I’ll be sending 1-6 to an agent this week, once I’ve created a brief CV to go with them, any news will be posted here. (Good or bad!) and I’ve also asked a published author to read them, so will also let you know whether it’s a flop or whether Chapter 7 will be in the pipeline!
Till next time….. S
