I'm writing my first novel. For so long I've been looking for that non-work, non-tech activity that would take all my focus outside of working hours. I was having a hard time finding the right thing and I've always enjoyed story telling since I was a kid. So I just started at the beginning of the year and I'm at 5000 words. My goal is to reach 100000 and this far the only obstacle is time constraints. It feels so effortless, which doesn't necessarily make it easy and it's plenty of work. I look forward to it every day and it's becoming my happy place. I'm averaging 1000 words a day so I'm going I'll keep the pace. I already have more than a few other novel ideas in mind but they'll have to wait. Wiring is so much fun!
