Some advice

So I've started writing. A friend gave me some advice, that posting my novel on a public blog may not be the best idea.

I kind of agree. So I think more accurate to what would be smart, I'm going to try and keep things kind of updated here.

Velrik has begun his journey. A very weak beginning, sadly. I spent my off-time at work writing out a plot outline to keep myself busy and perhaps ease my transition into trying to write full time. The result? Three pages of notes for seven chapters. It -looks- good. I swear, if I had to give a plot synopsis of what I want to write, I'm -there-

In actuality? I fired it up on MS word. Hit three paragraphs of descriptive dribble (so now the reader knows the basic appearance of their protagonist), and couldn't think of how to go on. So it isn't just a writers block, because I know -exactly- what he is going to do from here. I even know how it is supposed to stretch an easy chapter.

Just can't seem to get it out there.

So push me, poke me, and prod for details...I'm sure enough of it will get me writing, just to shut you all up. LOL

Peace

Zodiak.
