November was a doozy. So many events happened on both the national and personal stages. That being said I was still able to submit two more chapters to my critique partner as well as update the backstories for two of the main characters. For that I am proud of myself.

I’ve decided to do a progress update for my novel each month. And yes, I’m still writing a book. I’ve written about two or three more “chapters” since the last update but I haven’t had someone look them over or review them because I basically skipped chapter four and went on to later chapters. Today I just sent chapter four to a critique partner, so I consider myself to be on chapter five.

Most of what I’ve done these past weeks is work my eight to five job. Between that, studying for my Network+ exam, writing poetry, hosting an online writing group, and family engagements it’s been difficult to get the ball rolling on the actual book. As it stands I still plan to finish by year’s end 2021. That’s the only timetable that I have in mind for right now.
