FINALLY

[rusty_armour]

I know it's taken forever, but I finally started working on the rough draft of my original fiction project today. I think I only managed about 200-250 words, and I'm not sure how much of it might end up being scrapped, but it's something. I'm also not sure if what I wrote is definitely going to be the opening, but that's okay. It's easy enough to shift it somewhere else if I do keep it.

Although I've started the rough draft, I still have some background research I'd like to complete and I'm very close to wrapping that up. I printed out a shitload of material last weekend that should be extremely useful. I'm hoping that any other details can be researched as I go.

You've taken a huge step by starting to write even if it's only a small amount. I think that's great.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement, karen9. :-) I think starting can sometimes be the hardest step, so I'm counting this as a minor victory. *g*

It's good that you're nearly finished your background research and that you have some useful material to work with.

Yes, I was seriously beginning to wonder if I'd ever finish the background research. I know the material will be useful as I'd be floundering around in the dark without it. *g*

Best of luck!

Thank you! :-)
