87 days - the project

After two years of working on my debut novel and still not finishing, my friends are starting to get a little frustrated. Not because they think my time is fruitless, or because I'm not working hard enough, but moreso because they want to finish reading it. On Sunday at dinner, my friend announced that she wanted to read the finished copy before she moved, and I laughed.

Why did I laugh, you may ask. I laughed because she is moving at the end of November! How the hell am I supposed to finish a novel that is only halfway done after two years in less than 3 months??? But because the ladies I had dinner with on Sunday are such supportive and wonderful friends, I am going to try. And you, gentle viewer, are coming along for the trip.

Yes, that's right. For the next few months, I am going to be blogging about my progress, giving insight into my creative process, and sharing my artistic journey. IE, I am going to be pissing and moaning when it's hard, and gushing over my fabulousness when it's not.

The whole project will officially start tomorrow, since it's getting pretty late here. See you then!
