Once Again, I’m Feeling Positive About the Book

I’m still working on the first chunk of the book. Recently I printed and edited this first piece - which was greatly needed. When I returned to the computer I still felt a little aprehensive about how good it would be.

The trouble is that I don’t want to give too much away in the beginning, even though lots of wacky things are going on. They’re explained as the book goes on, but if this first part is too confusing for people, they’re not going to want to keep reading in the hope that things will get better.

But I’ve made a shift in direction as I’m going through these edits that I think will help to pull everything together. My hope is that people will buy into the events that are taking place if they don’t quite understand them.

But having no real experience or training in this type of writing I don’t have much to draw on to make this all happen. I can dream up a good story, but formatting it in such a way that makes sense and is entertaining is fairly difficult. Maybe for my first major creative writing effort I should have written a few short stories?

There’s no turning back now though.
