I am going to come clean…I am struggling with writing my novel.   The working title is ‘Siobhán‘ for the simple reason that this is the main characters name…and having read what I have written so far I am depressingly disappointed…mostly because it’s really not that good, ha ha ha.  I need to spend more time on the character development and use the narrative to clarify scenes and emotional content…and I have this habit of jumping from the 1st to 3rd person and back again…not helpful.  Of course, I have never done this before – write a novel – and no formal training to speak of, save the thousand-or-so I have read…which may not be adequate to the task, sigh.  Nonetheless, what is more important at this point is to commit to completing the task – and then to deliver on this commitment – so over the next few months I will focus on doing exactly that…please forgive my self indulgence here as I share the pages of ‘Siobhán’ – the good with the bad…and sometimes the simply painful, lol.
