Currently I'm passing the 60,000 word mark for my first novel. Kind of proud of this moment since I've been working on and off again since March of last year. The way things are looking this is going to be close to a 120,000 word book which is a bit long for a first time novel though I'm sure in editing it will come down a bit. Really looking forward to sharing this story with everyone when it's finished and not long after I plan on getting started on my next project.

The most difficult issue I've had with writing this story has been myself. Whether it's been dealing with health issues or simple procrastination it seems it's only been myself that has gotten in the way of this process. I'd like to believe I've overcome some of the more difficult hurdles but I'm sure there will be more to come along but so far I've enjoyed this journey with my characters and I hope you will to.
