As I think about the novel I plan to write. I can't help but worry about it. Will it be good enough to catch the eye of an agent, will the beginning be strong enough, or should I start it in a different place. If an agent does like it, will we be able to market it and sell it. Then I think I'm getting waaaay ahead of myself and that I should only worry about getting the story written first.
That's when I worry about how long should I give myself to write the first draft. I tell myself as long as it takes, because you have to finish this one. You can't leave it three quarters of the way completed like your other two novels. This is the one that will open the world you created to others to love and enjoy.
I wonder if I should create a challenge for myself to get me to finish writing this novel. Something to keep that fire inside my lit. I will think about this while I'm doing what I need to do to get myself prepared to write to best first chapter I have ever written. I may even write a little back story and put it on this site for people who may wander onto my site to read.
