Finishing The First Draft Of My Novel

Something I have been working really hard these past three months is my first draft of my novel. It was one way to keep myself busy and especially during this lock down we are all meant to be on, I have had a bit more time to get some writing done.

I am happy to say that on the 1st April 2020, I finished my first draft of my novel. I couldn't believe when I wrote the words "The End" on my first draft but I did it. Now it is only the first draft and I wouldn't say it is the most well written novel as I know there are few mistakes here and there plus some chapters are shorter than others. At the same time though, it has given a basis to work on the second draft as I have the entire story written from beginning to end, I know exactly what happens in my novel and I can now improve on the writing and make sure everything falls into place.

Halfway through writing my novel, I was so eager to go back and work on my previous chapters but I stopped myself from doing that as I knew it would slow me down to actually completing the novel. After all this was only the first draft which is not meant to be perfect anyway.

So yeah, I am just really excited to start editing and working on the second draft of my novel. I can officially say I have written a first draft of a novel which is really exciting.

Anyway, I am not entirely sure if anyone cares that I have written a novel as I have only mentioned it a few times on this blog but I thought I'd make this little update post in case anyone was keeping track on my novel writing.

That's all I have to really say about it now. Let me know if you want anymore posts about my novel and any updates on the progress I make with this novel.

I'll be back again tomorrow with another post for you.

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
