April Fools - Writing Words

Why have I never discovered before that 500 words are the perfect number of words to write every day?

I can manage 500 words even after working overtime, going for a run after work and cooking dinner. A little over 500, even, which makes me feel incredibly productive. Such a good feeling

First week over and I am 350 words ahead.

I discover a lot of details about the story that were always there, I suppose, but that have been hidden in the background. I've been writing fiction for quite some time now, but the way my brain works while I'm at it keeps amazing me.

As my novel is divided into three parts, I have to go back to the parts I wrote in November to check some of the facts I established then. I'm happy to say that it is not all rubbish.

Or at least, it got the potential to not be rubbish once it has been thoroughly edited. I'll spend this month writing the third part, and from May on I'll edit all three parts. And I'm actually looking forward to it.

My 500 words today were inspired by this week's Sunday Scribblings prompt: Photographs. Here's an excerpt:

I am a professional photographer, you would think I would have taken some other pictures of us. The truth is, it’s exactly because I am a professional photographer and I know how real photos are made that I love Polaroids. These two happy people I see, they were real at the time the picture was taken. They were both in the same place, embracing, kissing, smiling. Looking like they would always be together and take lots of snapshots or their journey together. There is nothing fake about them, they are not the work of some skilled photoshopper.

It's a promising start: 4 days in and I'm ahead of the target. Despite the fact that I had one hell of a week at work and all I wanted to do after work was put my feet up and do nothing.

It's the obvious thing to do, but it is also one of the most difficult: If you want to make it as a writer, you have to write. No excuses.

I came home late tonight and didn't feel like writing. So these 500 words tonight were a bit of a struggle.
Never mind, got there in the end.

Day 2 - so far things are going well.

I enjoy writing emails, I'm surprised I've not tried telling a story through emails before.

Epistolary Novel

April 1st 2008 18:07
According to Wikipedia, an epistolary novel is a novel told through a series of documents. These documents are usually letters but other documents such as newspaper articles and journal entries, and more recently emails and blog entries are also used.

Whenever I come across this literary term, I immediately think of The Color Purple, Bram Stoker's Dracula and The Boy Next Door. It is a powerful way to tell a story as a writer can give a lot of information that the main character does not necessarily know, but which gives a new dimension to the story

My April Fools Goal

March 30th 2008 21:28
I knew long before I finished my novel last November that I would not finish telling the entire story. The story is split in three parts and I didn't get round to writing the third part.

So that's what I am going to do next month. I will write part three, or at least 15,000 words of it - 500 words a day.
