There’s a saying among writers: Never show anybody else a work in progress. I always went along with this; all my writing was something secret that no other soul saw until publication day. But now I’ve decided to break that golden rule:eek:. I’m going to write the first draft of my new novel publicly, posting everything I write on Ben’s Bookcase, as I write it!:cool: Yes, you’ll be able to have a good laugh at all the mistakes that previously just made me cringe in private:D. This really is a unique opportunity, exclusive to my friends here. Few ever get the chance to witness a novel being written, in fact has any writer ever done it before? I’ve written Part 1 already and given it the working title: The Obscurati Chronicles. The reason I’ve decided to do this is mostly because of the urgency of the situation in the world today. The novel has a paranormal and conspiracy theory-based theme and any information or inspiration contained therein needs to be read by people here and now, not in 5 years after the rigmarole of bringing the story out as a book:rolleyes:. However when the novel is finished I will probably try to get it published as a book. Another saying is that writing is the loneliest profession and by sharing my writing experience with you all I‘ll be happily breaking that rule too:).

Hey Hagbard - gonna give your stuff a read through my friend; if you woud like I can give you some feedback if that is a help to you.
I am also on a large scale writing project - funny thing is, same as you I feel a sudden urgency cos I want to publish this beast before the feckin world actually goes belly up and its too late!! Lol!
I applaud you in your efforts...
For my story, it is a graphic novel - I am writing it up into scripts and storyboards, and want to get to a certain stage before I start to 'pimp it out' to artists - cos It would take me about 10 years to draw!! (i cant draw too well!)
I've been writing this monster since 1995!!! :eek:
kudos

Hi White Horse. Thanks for the comment:). feel free to give me any feedback you like, good or bad:cool:.
Good luck with your graphic novel. I'd be interested to see that when it's done. A lot of artists, writers and other creative people I know are feeling a need and urge to "get out there are do it". A sense of the urgency we feel.
