Once Upon a Time...

Today I started chapter one and have managed just over seven hundred words. This is a considerable amount considering the way in which I work; self drafting as I go. I had planned on starting last week but it ended up becoming a brainstorming session on the finer detail; the curse of the historical novel. It also meant an emergency dash to the library and a crash course in Futurism, purely for the sake of one paragraph. Today was one of those days where I was in the right frame of mind and felt that I was able to communicate the ‘vision’ in my head. I will probably review the draft in a week and change this opinion but it’s a good start. It is incredibly hard work but I love it.
