I finished the first draft in 3 months and I'm on draft 4.5 now but I think I've spent all summer on the first 10 chapters trying to make the opening click and add some depth to the storyline.<BR/><BR/>Re: Son<BR/>I need to go edit my post!

Made me remember a hilarious conversation about amnesia that I had with my daughter when she was that age. Marvelous stuff. I just may have to start doing a Random day myself (with credit to you for the idea of course).<BR/><BR/>Re: how long? Answer: it all depends. How much time are you devoting to the project? What else are you doing with your life? How much time does one need to assimilate and internalize that which we've written?<BR/><BR/>I feel a blog post coming on. *g*Joan Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17622809465767116747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329782430566577328.post-59507512954320475902008-09-05T11:21:00.000-04:002008-09-05T11:21:00.000-04:00I'm embarrassed to tell you how long it's taken me...I'm embarrassed to tell you how long it's taken me in the past.

(Writing full time without a family to look after.)<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I've written 2k short stories that have taken just as long. Some stories just need more bullying before they cooperate and become submittable.Kim Darehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11086545242925686207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329782430566577328.post-23427561628321966792008-09-05T10:25:00.000-04:002008-09-05T10:25:00.000-04:00LOL Got a kick out of your dialogue with your son...LOL Got a kick out of your dialogue with your son and your Randomness lists.
