I have been looking forward to writing this post for some time now.

I can finally say that I have completed the first draft of Volare. It feels like a lot of time has passed, but from start to finish I wrote it in about 9 weeks. As of now it clocks in at 82,000 words.

When I look back at the story lines and themes in the piece, it's crazy to see how much of your life creeps in, even when you don't intend for it to. I mean this is a young adult, sci-fi/fantasy piece, so it's interesting to see how characters from different worlds relate to us. (Excuse me while I get all Socrates on ya.)

("Y-A" Did you get that? :)

Anyway I'm crazy excited about this piece. I'm really in love with it, which means now it's time to chop it to bits. #dexterMode

I'll try to write on here more regularly now that I've got the story out of my mind... For now.
