| About Me: |
This will be the home page for my upcoming first novel, Heart's Delight. I posted the first two chapters on my Wordsmith blog site.
My novel takes place in the Santa Clara Valley (hence the title) during the early summer of 1990 to the late fall. The main characters are a young man named Jason, his girlfriend, Christine, and his best friend, Randy. Over the course of the story, the three of them will undergo changes that determine the paths of the rest of their lives, all of which takes place against the background of the greater changes that were happening in Silicon Valley, the U.S., and the entire world at that time.
My aim is to tell a story that explains a bygone time and place to those who weren't there while presenting something familiar to those who were there.
As of late June, 2010, I have finally finished draft #6!!! Hooray!!!.
September 1, 2010, past the 2/3rd's point of my read through for draft #7, getting there!
March 11, 2011, combing out the last knot of draft #7, it's in chapter 12 (there are 17 chapters in all), and once I'm done with it I feel like I'll be over the mountaintop.
May 11, 2011, One more page!
May 30, 2011, Done. Now to read it one last time and change it to manuscript format before I print out draft #7.
August 14, 2011, just completed printing out draft #7, now it's ready for reading!
Late October, 2011, I registered for a writer's conference up in San Francisco that'll take happen in the middle of February. There'll be agents there so my novel has to be top notch if I want anyone to be interested in it. Since I have begun another novel I will have two projects to show, one done and one under construction. Hopefully that will improve my odds. |
