An amateur's second attempt at writing.Yesterday was the first of the second week of Genius hour. As usual I worked on details of the first part of the first chapter in the novel. Now I am working on a second situation which includes a back story, it basically gives some information and tells how chloe ended up in this current situation. ChallengesA challenge that I faced was wording the story in a away that made the text transfer into a different setting well. This challenge included rewording and adding few little new details to the text. The new is to figure out what to put into the story next, I have a few ideas of what the novel will contain in it's first chapter, but I haven't quite fully plained on how or what all is going to be written in the first chapter. Other than these the typical problems were vocabulary and staying focused. SolutionsA solution I made for transferring text would be to end the original setting in a good place and place three dots in a row under the text, so that a new setting can be told without changing paragraphs. As usual I also looked to another book to see what their author did for this problem. One last solution for the day would be to write the rough and the when typing express it more formal manner, weather I will use solution or not it is a good tip that was expressed to me that I am now referring to the writers that may be reading this. TakeawaysOne Takeaway from today would be to "not worry so much about wording sense it's just a rough draft ( Matthew Barker). As well as to more on the book itself, I have 12 weeks to get this book done and "praised". By praised I mean for someone to read it and and quote about it for the acknowledgment pages, this step is not necessary but it would be fun to see what people think of my novel, if I need to make any changes before I read to a larger audience. Read about itI have decided to start posting little bits of the novel in hopes that someone might enjoy it.
Chapter 1: The effort it took to keep her sobs quiet drained all the energy she had left. Jet-lagged and frazzled Chloe climbed into her new bed and fell asleep, she had no dreams.
