Dear Journal: My Novel in Progress
71
Entry One: My journey on completing my first novel
For one year I've been working on a book I've dreamed would one day become my first piece of published literature. This fall I have decided that I will make that dream come true come hell or high water, but this time I've decided to record my adventure through a digital blog, and share those findings with others.
For the audience of this blog, I've chosen to make available any and all additional websites I've found useful in finishing this project including any reading material I may have happened to find in the yummy book stores of Borders, and Barnes and Noble. Mmmm hot coffee and a good book, it doesn't get better then that... well maybe hot cocoa. >.>
Note for the Audience: Please keep in mind that I am a stay at home mom of two very active children, so the odds of me being able to post a new entry daily is slim to none. Although, I will do my best to make at least one weekly post of the things I have have learned and my personal progress. I'll also do my best to provide you, the reader, with helpful pointers I've learned along the way, as well as videos, Amazon book links (to the books I've been reading), and links to other sites on the web that might help you along your own journey of writing. I hope you enjoy this post of mine, because I am very excited to get started and finally make this book become a reality. And I hope all the best for you as well.
