\"5day
\nI\u2019m aiming to write a 50k-ish novel this week. That\u2019s from concept to polish with at least two re-writes built in.<\/p>\n

I have no idea if I will be able to do it. I\u2019m a bit nervous. I\u2019d like to do it secretly and not tell anyone so if I fail then no one will know. However I feel like that is cheating. So I\u2019m making it public.<\/p>\n

Right now I know that the book will be thriller. It will most likely be an action thriller. I know I want the protagonist to be an FBI agent, outside of that I\u2019ve not done any planning. I\u2019ll figure that all out tomorrow once I officially start working.<\/p>\n

I have spent the past week researching the FBI, gun types, jurisdiction between Feds and police and those kinds of things. Just to make sure I know enough to write competent characters. I have not done any story or character planning yet.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll TRY to put an update here everyday, though they may be short \u2018cause I\u2019m going to be a bit busy. Plus I\u2019m going to unplug my router so I will avoid social media and the web in general. They can be a bit of a distraction. But every night or maybe when I do my daily walks I\u2019ll try to post updates!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
