Chapter 1: HELP!

What an interesting day it has been. I had a set plan to end up in one place, but found myself in another due to a wrong turn. “I’ve been in the city over a year and still get lost.” I guess that’s all the fun.

I’ve been trying to focus on my writing today and it’s true the first chapter is the hardest,  to be honest I can’t figure out where my story is going if I have a chapter started or a prologue. I have all these ideas and can’t settle,however I do have 570 words written, they are flowing like a river and then they just come to a wall because yes I’m writing, but I haven’t thought through fully how I want to develop my characters or plot I keep thinking it will come to me; it will right?

What I really need is some advice, from any authors out there on their journey, any takers?

Thanks for reading bloggers,

People Watching

While, out and about on a beautiful day, my girlfriend and I found ourselves at Starbucks, enjoying some iced tea chatting, people watching, and chatting about people watching at Starbucks. I smell coffee, hear slight chatter, and observe young writers,old writers, students, working away on their novels, essays, maybe even a thesis or two!
This had us chatting about how we use to write. this made me think about a novel I once started a few years ago and did not finished due to my computer being stolen, and the only copy of my writing was on that computer(How bright was I?)…nonetheless,I’ve decided I’m starting a novel this year! I may not finish it this year but it will be an exciting challenge! I already have 147 words…here’s to 147 more!
