Broke ground
I broke ground on the book.
It’s official. I’m still learning the ins and outs of the software I’m using, so it may take me some more dabbling, but the walk has begun.
Insha’Allah I’ll have the drive to stick with it until the end.
It’s fiction, and not without some lofty goals–poignant, timely, accessible and not preachy. It will reek of “first novel” like all the rest, but it will be mine.
If anything, regardless of the quality of the harvest, I’ll learn a thing or two about writing during the process. It should be fun. In my quest to sample as many bits of life as I can, “Yeah, I wrote a book once,” will be one I keep close, partly because of the time it will take to earn said bit, and partly because most people never try to write past page one.

Congratulations, Salmons.
I’ll be looking for an autographed copy when you’re published
What kind of software do you use to write a book?
Oh yeah Wil, definitely
I use a program called Scrivener, which is pretty sweet.
I will be amongst the hoaards queuing at 5am outside some funky New York bookstore just to get my copy autographed, babe.
Ha, Fel! You don’t have to wait, I’ll send you one =)
