Early Days?

My goal was to write a thousand words a day. That is possible and actually not too tough. But then you get on and try to link and edit passages. That can take a lot of time. I don't think I've ever read through the same material so many times in my life. Then, there is the reading aloud, which lets you in on other little mistakes only noticed upon hearing. It is unadulterated fun.

Springtime?

I am setting the mark of Spring to see if I can finish the book. I may be doing some readings this summer as an unpublished novelist. Stay Tuned. Can I make 100 thousand words by then?

Post Number Two!

Hey, this may be habit forming. My Mother, who just turned 85 did a great reading of the first chapter of Work Shy. She is, of course, an English Major. We did edit the "F" word.

First Posting!

For all you Pocket Intellectuals, here is a blog about writing my first novel, Work Shy. It is bound to be successful because anything is easier than being an artist. So, stay alert all you literary agents. Here is your first spoof literary-slash-genre, book for the millenium! I thought all books were literary?
