I dislike busy weeks, I really do, and the last couple have been among the busiest in quite some time. The good news is that I have dedicated myself to finishing a first draft of my novel before the year ends.
Can I do it? Yes.
Will I do it? That remains to be seen.
I've reached the climax of the story and I can see the end in sight, the problem is simply finding time to write these days. Overall I think it's a pretty solid first draft thus far. It's basically a fantasy story about some kids who end up in another world (which has been done a billion times) but I think how they get there, and what happens when they do are both different and interesting. While it's fantasy, at the same time it's a story about terrible father figures, family, fate, and faith (which is a bit strange seeing as I am by no means whatsoever a religious man) so it works on a few different levels.
Or maybe it doesn't, I don't know. Maybe it's total crap.
Anyway, crap or no crap I'm going to finish the thing before January 1st rolls around.
The sketch above is a very rough sort of outline of a possible book cover. (Really just an excuse to draw some of the characters.)
