3rd Attempt on New Novel

I was inspired by my new mousepad to write a new novel.

I wrote 26,997 words (version #1)and wasn't happy. A few days later I restarted. skimmed along writing 49,989 words over a long weekend. I scrapped that version (version#2) on the morning of the 13th of this month. I walked away. I stewed and grumbled, ranted and railed against my muse.

Then that same afternoon I sat down and began writing again (version #3). I am, 4 days later, close to 50,000 words into the new novel, and things are going much better this time. It's more the story that I set out to write.

I'm not really sure how to describe this one...life, death, love found, love lost, love reincarnated?

I never know quite what the novel will be until it is in existence! That's the joy of writing. Surprise!
