What a wonderful feeling it is to write.

It's been a while since I last posted and I admit that it's partly because I have been postponing it and also because I am finally writing. Hurray.

It has finally happened after all this time and all this preparation. The countless hours spent on the story arch, the plotting, the characters, and of course the gaping plot holes that where sincerely trying to swallow me whole.

I do credit Camp Nano for being what it took to force me into action and the great cabin members that I have there. We are equally as crazy and sometimes lazy so the atmosphere there is perfect .

I do admit that it's been somewhat of a slow start and I am far behind my word count but it doesn't matter. The story is progressing and I am already at chapter two. Which for me feels beyond wonderful.

The first draft of the scenes are extremely raw. I have conquered my fear of writing, but at the same time I do know I can do better. What I have managed so far are only the bare bones of what these scenes/chapters can be.

My fingers are already itching to start revising what I have already written and I am debating with myself if I should give in or wait until April is over or I have completed the manuscript. There are pros and cons to both options so I will have to see what best benefits my writing and keeping the story going.

This will be all for now but I will keep you updated as things go on.

Happy Camp Nano month
