And The Worm Has Turned

Well, ladies and germs, after much consideration and soul searching, I have made the command executive decision to begin posting the novel I have been working on for quite some time now.

The working title is "The Only Jaded Piece".

Ive been reluctant to do this up until now because, even though I share slightly personal stuff on my bog from time to time, it can be safely said I dont do nearly as much of that as a lot of boggers out there. This novel, however, is intensely personal to me and it feels like I am baring my soul here. I dont do that very often or very easily.

My main motivation for doing this is I have run aground at 75000 words, not for lack of ideas but for lack of effort. I need to kick myself in the ass here and this seems to be the best way to do it.

A new chapter will go up every four days. It will not, however, be posted here. I have set up a seperate bog for it. When I post a new chapter, I will post an entry here alerting my seven faithful readers to its presence along with the opening sentence to the chapter (gotta have a teaser, eh?) and a link to the chapter.

I have enabled comments and welcome any thoughts on what I have written. I am very interested in opinions on character development and story flow. You may leave comments here, on the blog itself or email them to me if you like.

I hope you find The Only Jaded Piece to be interesting and compelling. With that, let the journey begin.
