I’ve been working on Grandmother’s Letters a lot this month. Not as much as I planned, but I have been writing.
In the past month I have written about a hundred pages of my book, not counting the countless sheets I wrote and then promptly tore up. The problem is, at the beginning of this month, I probably thought that I had about 100, maybe 125 pages left until completion. Grandmother’s Letters would be easy to finish once I got myself to focus. I was wrong.
Now that I’ve written all these pages, I’ve discovered that I have at least that many to go, in order to finish this off properly! That’s what I’m thinking at least. I was wrong last time, so we’ll see. I have so many threads that need to be tied up and I’m still in the heart of parts of the story. Needless to say, this book is not likely to be finished by the end of tomorrow. Soon I hope, but not that soon.
In other news, I really need to start coming up with a few chapter titles. The last few that I’ve written are blank.
Better get back to my book… Hopefully I’ll have a longer, more interesting post on Monday. Do you title your individual chapters? Do you find it easy or difficult?
To the KING be all the glory!
I always title my chapters before hand because they end up giving me an idea of what I should keep that chapter focused on and they make sure I keep on track. Sometimes I have to adapt the titles or change them so they’re not so weird sounding, but I normally always like make up a chapter title right before I start it!
Hoping and praying you can get this book finished! I can’t wait to hear more of it! I really need to get off the internet right now, though, and work on my own writing. I still have two character bios to build and the entire city. D-:

I’m like that with book titles… I WISH I was like that with chapter titles! :p
Thank you! I hope to send you more soon! Have fun with your character bios! :)
Why do you write it out twice? I understand about writing things out on paper because that is how I write poems easiest, but isn’t it hard writing everything out 2 times?
Do you mean why do I re-write on paper when I don’t like what I’ve written instead of just typing it out?
I can rewrite much better if I do it on paper. :p
