Shifting Gears

So with my Robert book now in the hands of my four faithful beta readers, I have no more work to do for now on this story. I can go ahead and shift gears into resuming my work on Mars. I know this is going to be a very interesting endeavor.

For starters, I've never written a book before. With my Robert book finished I'm now moving further into uncharted territory with starting a second novel. I've never written two books! This should be exciting.

I think the hardest thing to start will be changing my mindset and focus from an editing standpoint to a creative stance while trying to imagine this new story that I've seeded. The book is very short, with only two chapters finished. Both of these are teasers and the whole thing is only about four pages.

As I resume my writing, I'll post my word counts and let everyone know the progress of this story. I'm still not 100% sure where I want to focus it, but I have it narrowed down to two ideas. I'll go wherever the book takes me. The other thing is I don't have a goal for my words so I won't be posting any progress meters showing how much I've completed. I believe a book is as long as it wants to be. I'll be done writing it when it wants to be done.

I think this will be exciting.
