I would have replied to you sooner but I was working on my manuscript.
I am hand writing my thoughts, scenes and ideas into notebooks. Yesterday, I did manage to type the first six pages and edit them a bit.
So I guess technically I am cheating for starting early but I really want my book to get published when I am done. I keep having these images and ideas pop into my head and need to write them down, so I am.
The end of November is not far away and I want to have my first very rough draft complete. I am not a writer but I used to write. The editing and rewriting is going to be a huge task. I do have a group of people that will help with proof-reading, editing and emotional feed-back.
If you need a writing buddy, I'm your girl. Feel free to pm me anytime.
I am currently an at-home-mom to a four year old. Yesterday my son was piling legos on me as I was writing a scene. Surprisingly, it was not a distraction. Between him running around, cartoons playing and being asked to take legos apart for him, it was the perfect amount of background noise and activity.
Thanks for posting and good luck!
