Secret Revealed

Like a monk I am still wholly involved with my project. I guess I'll let the monkey out of the trunk and let everyone know that I'm writing a book.

I have written 144 pages so far. I have a goal of around 360 pages but depending on where the story takes me it might be shorter or it might be longer, but I think it will be at the very least 300 pages.

Because I know people are curious, questions always rise up like the foam from a glass of root beer. Unfortunately, I can't answer these questions because the contract I signed with my muse states that he will leave if I do. (Contract negotiations with the Guild of Muses are very tricky.)

Here is a list of some of those questions:

What is your book about?
Can I read what you have done so far?
Can I give you a suggestion?
Why are you writing about that?

Since I am following monk-like habits I think I will end with a quote from a nun.

"To be successful, the first thing to do is to fall in love with your work."

I like that quote by the nun (and the devil hehe) But the devil forgot "everyone else is telling me, you should too!" But I really like the quote by the nun. She was a smart cookie! :) Good luck with the writing...pssst...check your starving artist fund.
