Well my vacation from my novel continues until the fifteenth of May but I am using my free time in a useful manner. I finally managed to get my driver’s license here in China.

Well my first draft went out on Tuesday. I have sent it out to six different people. I am ignoring my novel for the moment until May 15th.
Well the time is fast approaching for me to actually hand out the first draft to my alpha readers. I have to say I am getting nervous about it.
So I’ve managed to get through all the chapters except for the last two. The remaining ones should go pretty quick as they were already written in chapter format.
So the big news is that I passed my driving license road test on Thursday. Had to take the day off from work but it was definitely worth it.
The big news this week is that I’ve finished the first draft of my novel. No time to sit back though as rewrites are looming already.
I took a day off work this Monday to go take my road test as I am working on my driving license. Did I pass? (Spoiler: I didn’t).
Hey everyone,
Holiday is finally over and it’s back to the grindstone. The grindstone being work, of course, not the blog. Quick recap of the holidays: spent a week visiting in-laws then another week back in Shanghai relaxing. Did a little driving practice for my upcoming test, had dinner with the folks, all in all stayed busy. Managed to get another chapter done and finished the outline for the last two chapters so hopefully will get those done in a week or two and then it’s time for rewrites. Huzzah!!!
I’m afraid this week I only managed to get 1500 words done this week. The good news is that I finished a chapter so the next chapter will have the climax and then I will be close to finishing the first draft. The problem is that I will need to think a bit on this next chapter as I know how it ends but I am not quite sure how I am going to get there other than knowing what the main character needs to do to get to the end I envision.

This will be a shorter post than normal since I don’t really have that much to report. I got down about 4000 words last week. Had my birthday and some extra work that took time away from writing. Thanks to everyone who sent well wishes.
