Hey everyone. Good news. After five months of fighting with the beginning of Hooligans in Shining Armour, I’ve done it. Finally done it. I have conquered first chapters of my novel.
The rest of it has been done for months; it was just a matter of finding the right place to start. And believe me, it’s had many…many…many different starts. It’s now been fully critiqued and professionally edited. Ready to go! If you’d like to read the first three chapters of Hooligans in Shining Armour, click here and scroll down to the link 🙂 I’m so excited and so proud of it. Big props to all the many, many, many writers who helped me get here! Especially Kate Foster, who particularly helped me nail the beginning. Without them, I’d still be, oh God, don’t even want to imagine.
Congrats! Those beginnings are always a mountain to climb. Keep it up!

Lol they really are. This one was extra complicated because of the plot and because it’s dual POV.

Ditto on the congratulations! That’s fantastic! For me the issue is the muddle in the middle. This weekend I’m holed up with advice on story structure and a cork board to re-storyboard it. I hope to experience a similar celebratory state soon!
