I'm 11,000 words deep into this story. It's interesting and I wonder why I never did this before. Sheer laziness can be the only reason. I wish I could have been as focused on some of my school work or other parts of my life. Maybe I can be. It would be a nice change.

My shoulders ache and ache, but I write away. I'm just barely into the story, even though I'm pounding it out sans artistry or grace. Just getting it down so I can go back over with colorful brushes and fill in those words with well phrased sentences and brilliant structures. I'm also writing the story in sequence, though I'm not sure if the novel will end up being that way. I spent a few pages on the story of my main character's origins, which could fit as a prologue and set the stage for this world. It has a witch burning in a provincial town that reminds me of 19th century Russia. At least that is the way I see it in my mind. I will have a lot of work coloring in that sketch so others can read it.

50,000 words won't be anywhere near enough for this story. But it will be a start. I'm glad. I haven't attempted to write a novel since the hilarious vampire porno romance that was so so so deliberately awful. Ahh, the terrible inspiration of a bad Dracula movie can drive a person to commit terrible artistic crimes.
