Continuing the Novel

Posted 09-01-2008 at 11:31 by bhdean

I just finished 7 more pages in my novel and have come to the conclusion that writing a novel takes more time than reading one. So far I have written 105 hand written pages for a total of about 25,000 words. It has taken me 2 years to get this far and it may take me 2 more to finish it. If an average novel is about 100,000 words (just guessing here), that means I am only a fourth of the way finished with it. If I set this one aside after I finish it and start the next one (that's what is recommended,...

More American Novel

Posted 08-23-2008 at 00:48 by bhdean

I was planning on finishing the chapter I had been writing while I was away from home, but I had some late nights (working, not partying) and was too tired to add more than a page.

I will need to improve my work ethic and stay on task, but it's hard when you have so many jobs that you need to establish a high work ethic for, primary job, home maintenance, home improvement, auto restoration, novel writing. It takes so much time...

The Great American Novel

Posted 08-12-2008 at 12:04 by bhdean

I have spent a lot of years doing a lot of different things and never really considered myself a writer of novels until a was halfway through college (graduated in 2006, age 55). I received praise from my teachers for my essays and even published an article in the school paper but didn't really think about writing fiction seriously.

In August of 2006, I was rereading some material about the history of my hometown and got an idea for a story. It would be loosely based on what may have...

Sand in Your Shoes

I remember there is a picture: in distant place there is a road in the high mountain entered into the cloud, on the path, there is a man who backed a full packed rug path to be getting near; A traveller who is reciting travelling bag sits at the roadside, holding a piece of shoes to knock. There is a word like this under the ones that draw: That make people tired out is not often the high mountain in the distant place, but a grain of sand in your shoes.

That make people tired out is...
