Jane Austen, I am not. Yoda? Maybe.

I wrote my first five pages. It's touch and go at this point. There are things I like about it and things I don't. It's a bit awkward. I am thinking it will do me some good to do some more reading. See how other people structure their chapters, how they start, etc.

I also think I need to just write and just let it go and not worry about how much it sucks. I usually have to write for a bit to get my flow going. But once I get going, I am good to go for hours. So I might pump out a completely shit first chapter or two, and then the story finally takes on a life of it's own and levels off. Then, when I HAVE that groove, I can go back and redo the beginning.

For all I know, doing this might change the story completely. I might decide to change plot or focus on someone completely different or change my writing perspective entirely. It's kind of fun and aggrivating at the same time.

Speaking of writing perspective: Right now I am focusing on writing in Limited Third, but I am wondering if (though I am loathed to do so) I should switch to First Person. Maybe I'll write two versions. One one way, one the other. Or hell, I'll write several different versions and add in Second Person, and Omniscient.

Actually, I tend to usually write in Omniscient. Maybe I should just stick with what I know. It worked for Jane Austen. Not that I am anything like Jane Austen. I just like knowing what everyone is thinking. And it gives me the option to ramble, which thinking about it can be either good or bad. Truly, I seem to get most of my good stuff from the ramble. On the other side of that, I'm not too sure if others can follow my weird trains of thought.

Oh well. I'm writing it for me. As long as I can understand it, good. if I want to send it off when I'm done, I'll try and reel it in.
