I've done it! Today I completed the First Draft (or Vomit Draft) of "Club Love"!
I am so damn happy and proud of myself right now.
This story has been over 12 years in the making and now it is finally a reality for me!
There was a lot of inspiration when I had joined
Triggerstreet.com. Great folks over there, lots of great information and stories from the battlefield!
I also think that ready Save The Cat was a great help. It really gave me a fresh perspective on my writing.
I can finally say, "I have written Club Love" instead of "I'm going to write Club Love".
Wow.
BTW, I am still trying to figure out what to do next. Some people say you should sit on it a while and then head back for the re-write. Some say just keep going and get right into it.
My first priority will be to print it and read it through. I love the feeling of holding it in my hands as opposed to reading the .pdf document on my computer screen.
Then... I'll decide.
I know that I have a few great books on the re-write process, so I'll probably dig into those a bit before deciding as well.
I'm right in the middle of McKee's "Story", which I really got into after the first chapter or so. I know that I want to complete this book before I do anything as well. Great information in there!
Ok, that's all for now!
