Chapter 1: The First Words

Welcome to the Inscriptus blog. As I renew my journey to become a full-time writer, I will use this forum to chronicle my personal journey as an author.

I'll begin by sharing my successful first venture as a NaNoWriMo newbie- I won by writing a 50,016 word novel, Noah's Custodian, in a mere 30 days. You can check out my profile as well as the National Novel Writing Month organization here.

This was actually the first serious novel I've ever completed and the longest by a long shot. I've had a few novels I've started and several story ideas, but I've never managed to actually finish one. I'm letting it ripen for awhile and will soon start on another shorter children's book that I've been thinking about. During the holidays I'll begin editing Noah's Custodian, an effort I'll detail here. I plan on self-publishing at least an ebook version of it. We'll see where that takes it.

I'll sign off with this: there is only one way to write, and that is to do it.
