Previous Posts on Writing My First
Novel:
You can see the process I've gone through
in writing my first novel. While I won't reveal specifics about what the story is about as I don't believe in
doing that until the first draft is complete, I will share a good deal about the process itself. Below are
the posts I've written when I've needed to take a break from the actual writing process itself. There won't
be too many, I hope, as writing the first draft is the top priority now, but there should be enough to give you a
glimpse into my process, as perfectly flawed as it may be. Hope you enjoy the
ride.
