Motivation...

I need to finish this stupid novel. I've made it to the halfway mark once and then I scrapped it. Five years I have put it off and let the story fester in the back of my mind, so I decided the time has come to clean it up, write the rest of the story and finally give it a go. I am making this log to record my "progress". I'm going to post here once every week, updating what I've done and so help me it better be at least a chapter. I'm not sure if threatening yourself actually works...but I figure I'd try. Hopefully it will give me the motivation I need. I'll also post portions of my Deviant Art journals here, since I tend to update that weekly (ish).

I have begun to rewrite my first four chapters of WMRR that were also a rewrite. My original work was 17 chapters in length, my estimated "halfway mark". That first edition was horrible. Second edition, which I am rewriting now and used to get me into a fiction writing class was a lot better, but definitely needed a little buffer and polish. The Prologue and half of Chapter 1 are currently done. I am also switching Chapter 1 and 2 around. I am hoping that by the end of this week I will finish up until Chapter 2.

I will have a busy last four days of holidays. Thankfully I'm not needed at work being "on call" and can focus my time on writing my novel, writing an English paper (a nice little holiday treat from my prof), editing the first 70 pages of my friend's novel, finding 5 research materials for a group project, collecting and organizing my group member's research materials, reading two books of short stories, reading the first 10 chapters of Don Quixote, gutting my room, buying my books for next term, a day trip to Banff and finishing Assassin's Creed II (which is an amazing game by the way). So much for the rest of my "holidays". Unfortunately I will have no time to start a new video game nor record any new videos for my "Walkthrough of Extreme Boredom series: Overlord Edition" (obviously because I'm FAR from being bored).
