And she's off!

Starting writing THE SEA CHANGE today, the sequel to THE FIRST BETRAYAL. Made a decent if not spectacular start. The important thing in starting a novel is to recognize that yes, the first paragraph sucks. It will always suck. But you need to keep moving, to start getting words on paper. As the story idea unfolds, you'll know what to do when it comes time to fix that first paragraph.

5 / 400 pages

In other news, the heatwave continues. It's hard for me to write when it is this hot-- this afternoon sweat was literally dripping off me as I sat at the computer. If I ever do get an airconditioner it's going in the writing room.

Yay!!! My first email this morning was going to ask you if you'd gotten started.

Only 395 more pages to go! (Before you gut me, remember that I'm currently looking at a blank page with "Book 3" in the header.)

And before you get to book 3 you have a few minor tasks, like moving and starting a new job :-)
