Started writing this novel 2 years ago. I finished the 1st chapter then, but keep editing the darn thing. I Need help, to keep going with it. This the start of Chapter One. I will add rest when chapter completed. I have also written some scenes for the middle and end of the Novel. I need to continue with Chapter One. I hope to write at least 500 words per day. I started with this daily target last week and managed to reach it. However, none written today. Bad day. Day's not over yet though. I have to go out soon, but will hopefully write when I get back.

Good luck Glyn! I struggle with bum-on-seat too, but once I've cleared my desk a bit I find the momentum from others in this group very inspiring!

Hi Glyn - keep going at it! No editing or you'll have to sit on the naughty step, lol (I have been suffering the very same fate with my novel - the cycle started when I wanted a synopsis and first 3000 words to be sent off for one-to-one sessions at the York Festival of Writing next month and I don't have a finished novel... since then I've found it hard to go back and just write!!) So here we are ;0) X

Hi Glyn,
If you’ve got a plot and you now where you’re going, that’a big start. Once you start writing it, I’m sure you’ll find your momentum. Good Luck with it.

Thanks all, for your encouragement. I am trying very hard, to keep on track. I have weeks holiday in Turkey a week on Good Friday, so am trying to work overtime before I go.

o.k. I've not been very good so far this week, target of 500 words per day not reached. Yesterday 0 words! ;-( my husbad has had 2 weeks of work (that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it). I told you I was in desperate need of help.
I have added to and edited (per critiques)my 1st Chapter- Total word count so far 1362, since I first uploaded the Chapter.
