Author Comments:
I plan to keep a daily list of writing times and words produced. This list will run from Labor day to Labor day each year. I think Labor day is an appropriate holiday to start a work-related list.
Please tell us about your novel.
When did you atart?
What is it about?
Is it autobiographical, or about something you know?
Is it your first / first attempt?
I'm not going to say too much about my novel, but I will tell you that it is a "literary novel" which is not autobiographical. This is not my first attempt at a novel--I've been writing stuff since I was a kid--but I am now certain that this is going to be the first novel that I actually finish. I'm at 21,091 words and I'm only trying to get to 50,000 (this will be just barely long enough to call it a novel). I'm keeping this list of my daily writing activities to keep me on track with this project. Thanks for your interest, Professor.
