  • My First Novel

    The Clarion Write-a-Thon 2011 has ended. During the challenge I have written 20,749 words on my first novel.

    I have learnt a lot. One of those things is that I need to change my point of view and restruc- ture the plot.

    This project is currently on hold, but I am very confident I will one day finish what I started.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    My current progress

    20,749 / 60,000 (34.58%)
