Finishing The First Draft Of My Novel

Something I have been working really hard these past three months is my first draft of my novel. It was one way to keep myself busy and especially during this lock down we are all meant to be on, I have had a bit more time to get some writing done.

I am happy to say that on the 1st April 2020, I finished my first draft of my novel. I couldn't believe when I wrote the words "The End" on my first draft but I did it. Now it is only the first draft and I wouldn't say it is the most well written novel as I know there are few mistakes here and there plus some chapters are shorter than others. At the same time though, it has given a basis to work on the second draft as I have the entire story written from beginning to end, I know exactly what happens in my novel and I can now improve on the writing and make sure everything falls into place.

Halfway through writing my novel, I was so eager to go back and work on my previous chapters but I stopped myself from doing that as I knew it would slow me down to actually completing the novel. After all this was only the first draft which is not meant to be perfect anyway.

So yeah, I am just really excited to start editing and working on the second draft of my novel. I can officially say I have written a first draft of a novel which is really exciting.

Anyway, I am not entirely sure if anyone cares that I have written a novel as I have only mentioned it a few times on this blog but I thought I'd make this little update post in case anyone was keeping track on my novel writing.

That's all I have to really say about it now. Let me know if you want anymore posts about my novel and any updates on the progress I make with this novel.

I'll be back again tomorrow with another post for you.

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I...

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo...

Chapter Eleven

Image
I feel like I say this at the start of every month but I can't believe how quickly October went. It felt like it was a complete blur and now we are in November. Just two more months left of 2024 which feels crazy to me cause I've done so much this year that this year has honestly been the best year for me. This month, I don't really have much planned. I actually finished my Christmas shopping a couple of days ago so I don't have any Christmas shopping to do this month which is great cause it means I can save a bit of money this month. I think I'm going to Manchester to enjoy the Christmas markets at the end of the month which I'm excited about. Plus I'm going to see the fireworks on bonfire night. Other than that, I don't really have much planned for this month. November is definitely a chill month for me especially when I've finished my christmas shopping at the end of October, it's usually a relaxing month for me. So yeah, I don't have anyt...
