After years of intentions and the random fragments written, I
am finally sitting down to write a novel.
I am currently 17,000+ words into a semi-autobiographical novel
based on my time working in retail.
I have been writing several thousand words a day, and I
intend to be completed writing by the end of next month and will take an unknown
amount of time editing it, although I plan to publish it by the end of the year.
I am going the self-publishing route (most likely LULU) as I
think this is the choice that makes the most sense, and a can save myself the hassle
of having to hustle an actual publisher.
While this novel will blend fact with fiction, I intend to write
more explicitly fiction books in the future.
This first effort is a way of gaining experience in the
process of bringing a work of substantial length to completion.
Stay tuned for updates. I will likely post some excerpts on
here at some point in the not too distant future.
