Continuing

Posted 02-25-2010 at 10:26 by bhdean

I have promised to keep you, my potential fans, updated on my progress as I continue to write my second novel. The question most of you are asking is, why keep on saying the same boring things if there is nothing substantial to report? My answer is that we are sharing this process together and I want to make sure no one misses any random thoughts I have during the writing. I know it seems like it is taking way too long to get to a finished product and start receiving those rejection letters, but...

The Person I Trust the Most

Posted 02-17-2010 at 09:24 by bhdean

During my writing process, I write my stories in spiral bound notebooks (the kind you can buy at Wal-Mart for 9 to 15 cents when school starts). Each notebook has 70 pages and I write front and back for a total of 140 handwritten pages per notebook. With my first novel, I filled 3 of these notebooks and had to add about 20 extra pages, giving me a total of 440 pages of handwritten manuscript. After I write in my notebook, my wife will take my written pages and type them into the computer (she is...

Interest Waning?

Posted 02-09-2010 at 07:43 by bhdean

I can’t help but notice that views on my writing journal have been steadily going down. Maybe it’s true that all my stories are boring. I have decided to give everyone a little peek into the inner workings of my brain and explain the process I used to write my first novel.

The idea came from a single entry in a history written about the town where I grew up (that’s the town in the novel, but don’t tell anyone). It said that during the Civil War, Morgan’s raiders went through the...

I Read Faster Than I Write

Posted 01-31-2010 at 14:21 by bhdean

I am making great progress on my novel, 1/8th of the way finished. Everything is falling into place just as I have outlined it in my head, but I have one small problem that is bugging me.

I continue to read other people’s novel for entertainment and to see how others write. My problem is that I read these other novels a lot faster than I write my own. I can’t seem to create as fast as I can digest the words and ideas of others. I have been applying myself lately so I can meet my...

Time Passes, Progress Made.

Posted 01-18-2010 at 00:08 by bhdean

I have been hard at work on my second novel in spite of the life changing interruptions that have occurred. My eye surgery was the major set-back and took a couple months away from my writing (actually it slowed it down for a couple of months and stopped it completely for a couple more). My mother's failing health and passing just before Christmas again stopped progress for a couple of weeks. I was hoping to be published before she passed away, but with her being 90 years old, I should have thought...
