Well, I wrapped up Chapter One of my novel last week. In many ways, it feels good to have those first 6,200 words complete. It's also kind of intimidating to think that I'll be doing that 7, 8, 15 more times before I have the finished product sitting in front of me. But I really love these characters, and the story is coming together nicely. So, for the sake of a great adventure, I'll stick this one out and see it through to the end. Chapter One introduces us to the protagonists Ruck Holland and Shallum. They are two of the three main characters and we'll pick up the third at the end of Chapter Two, I think. Anyway, Ruck is a bartender and Shallum is his token patron. Through a series of odd circumstances, they set out on a seemingly unavoidable tour of the world, fraught with danger and promise upon the seven seas... if ever they get that far.
And so our story begins...
