Ok, now that I've written down the synopsis and character list (along with a brief description of each, just to keep them all in order in my head) I think I can begin chapter 3. As I was writing out all the other stuff, I had a few ideas floating around of where to go with the next couple chapters, should be very interesting to try and relate all of these things together.
I think the best piece of advice I can give to other writers, or when people ask why write? You have to remember that this isn't work, its what I love to do. I have ideas and thoughts and opinions that I need to get out there somewhere and the best way to display them is creatively, in my opinion. Whether its writing or art or photography, there are plenty of ways to express yourself, this just happens to be my current media of choice.
Enough preaching, time to get down to business!!
Oh and one more thing-as I was saying, I have a few ideas floating around about where to go next, but I now have a rough outline of the next 8 chapters! If anyone has any advice on how many chapters this should be or what a good chapter length is that would be very helpful. I think I'm going to try and get up to between 18 and 20 chapters...that sounds about right for a first book?
