I spend nearly a year writing 3 quarters of a novel, all in long-hand in exercise books. I filled 6 books all together. That was 6 months ago. then a couple of weeks back the writing bug hit me. It hit me hard. So I dug out what I had previously wrote. I knew I could get it finished, I knew I could get past the 1st draft.
the third exercise book is missing.
Yep, I looked all around the house, it took two whole bleeding days to come to the conclusion that it had been thrown away.
Still I carried on. I have typed the first two books into Word and finished the novel (In notes)
In some ways I am glad the 3rd book went missing, I've picked up the threads and the stuff I'm working on now make the old work look childish.
Am I rambling here? If I am sorry.
Sitting on a half completed book for 6 months has done wonders for me.
