More Writing

Well, I recently passed 10,000 words, finishing the prologue and chapter 1.  It's amazing how long things can get, without you even realizing you've written so much.  Probably just conditioning from school, feeling like ten pages is a long essay, but then again, this is much more entertaining than writing an essay.  I've moved through the first firefight, into the exploration of the characters and a more in depth look at their situation.  We are also going to be meeting and introducing several of the foreign characters, though not foreign in the sense of nationality.  Hopefully I'll have the prologue and first two chapters posted soon, for anyone to take a sneak peak into Sands of Eternity.  Keep and eye out!

Starting Up!

Well, I've got the blog going.  I'll be updating, hopefully a couple times a week with milestones, snippits of the book and probably questions for readers regarding plot ideas, character profiles, etc.  I want to get external feedback early, but at this point I'm just head down in writing mode, quickly approaching 10k words.  This will likely be a long process and quite a journey but I'm finally ready to start it.
