Are you writing on a novel today?

Is this your first novel?
Is this several novels in?
How are you feeling about it?
Are you stuck?
Are you in the dread middles?
Does your novel have both a protagonist and villain?
Are you developing both characters?

If you are new to writing I encourage you to work toward trust.

This comes into play early and takes a strong role in novel crafting. Your day-to-day brain isn't what really writes a novel. Your novel deals with what I call your 'larger brain'.

So, it looks like I will re-invent this novel fully and up the stakes, add in some direct villains and go for the adventure aspect.

My world and setting are really well understood by me so my focus is not on developing more setting but fully on adventure.

Good Morning Sunday people.

We are surviving November. Pat yourself on the back as this is a top-level accomplishment.

Sundays are FREE writing days where we talk about our novels and writing things and we throw rocks at whatever torments our lives.

#writingcommunity #booksky #writingnovels

Sunday is a FREE write day which simply means direct your time and energy toward your writing.

Writing does well with structure and planning. Give yourself permission to set aside time just for writing. Life is short. Nurturing you is important.

A warning notice attached to a post next to a gate at the base of a mountain in the Lake District. The sign says 'For your safety the old footpath is no longer in use. Please now follow the forest road!' A seventy-something man is in the background, passing through the gate.

When a sign says:

DO NOT ENTER

DANGER

NO ACCESS

or, as in the photo, 'For your safety, the old footpath is no longer in use,'

Most people would turn around.

Not dad.

My experiences with him inspired my work in progress, Nicksgate, coming soon.

Conclusion of today's short #WritingWulf session

I wrote six pages and are now at 28 pages, of the 1st chapter of my 7th post apocalyptical novel.

Now, let's record a special USL preview. Maybe I can continue writing later.
