So, just to let you know where I am. I have finished my first draft of my story. I am about 80 or so pages into my second draft which has covered about 30 pages of my first draft. I think this book is going to breach 500 pages or so. If it keeps up the way it has been, it could easily be 500-600 pages long. But we’ll see how much I need to add.

I think things are going very well. I’ve experienced a few hicups trying to fill in the details of my very, very rough first draft, but with persistance, I have worked through them, and I feel the second draft is becoming more and more like a final draft. I am certain that I will need a thourough read over by someone once I finish the second draft to see where I am lacking, where I need to improve and overall what they felt about the story.

I feel that my writing has greatly improved from the style and proper format I used in my first draft and am excited to say, that while it’s not perfect, I am sure it’s getting better. I have been successfully writing nearly everyday, thanks to NANOWRIMO pushing me to write daily through November.

So, that’s where I stand.  Thanks for all the support.

    Way to go, Jake! I can’t wait to get a chance at some of your first chapters.

    Remember that if you want feedback as you go along, it’s easier to ask someone to take a look at a chapter than it is to ask someone to read all 600 pages.
