It's untitled, but hopefully, you'll enjoy it to some extent. This is the first edit. I am working on getting it edited through multiple rounds though before it's finalized.
You know better than to end a thread title with a preposition!

Do I? That's why I have an editor :P

I havent checked out your book yet, but that is awesome you wanna create something. I dont have the creativity for something like that. I hope it ends up on a bestseller list.

Me too, thanks.

It's going to be around 600 pages. I'm already ⅓ of the way there.

Link to my Fan Fiction for Let the Right One In (2008). If you haven't seen the film or didn't enjoy it, you should probably take a pass.

That's quite ambitious! How long have you been working on your book? How many hours a week do you spend on it?

TC: If you are interested in Tolkien, world building, and fantasy, you should check out an author named Mervyn Peake. His Gormenghast trilogy is excellent. I'm not a big fan of fantasy, but Peake's books are high art.

I've been working on it since March, so about four months so far, I work on it 2 hours a day. Lately, I've been doing more. In the last four days, I did about 45 pages worth of writing. I'll probably have it done in a year's time. I did this last section in 2 days, don't believe the 66 printed pages, it's only 24 printed.

Either way, this is what I am up to now. Working on the 10th chapter, my wife is working on the 7th, and I am finally getting to the meat of the story.

Oh, and I will look up the author, but I think I like my style, I've tried three different styles of story telling in the book so far, and as far as I can tell it works.

236 pages in 4 months is quite a bit of writing and editing. I'm surprised you have the energy and parience for that considering you have a job and a family. Keep on keeping on man! When I was a lot younger, I wanted to write a book. Then I realized I couldn't think of anything to write about lol

I only have it, because I want to give my son a better life, and any proceeds of this book will go straight to that.
