20 Time Project: Novel

Needs & Opportunities
I'm looking to experience what it's like to write a book and potentially finish it. If I do happen to finish it before the TED talk I have to do on this project, I might try to get it published. Through this I want to be able to become a better writer and hopefully learn from my mistakes in old writing.

Audience / Clients / Users
My project is going to be more self-directed rather than targeted towards other people. Through this experience I expect to be enriched by becoming better at writing and fix some of the bland writing styles I often tend to use.

Timeline
By March 15, I will hope to be five chapters into the book.
By April 15, I will hope to be halfway or 2/3 of the way done the book.
By May 15, I will hope to be nearly or completely finished with the book.

Product / End Result
My final product will hopefully be a fully completed book or at least nearly completed book. My hopes for the final product is an actual published book, but that is going to be pretty hard to accomplish in three months. If I put extra time into the book, I might be able to get it started in the publishing phase earlier.

Resources
In order to complete my book, I shouldn't need any resources besides a computer and my brain. Other than that I shouldn't need any other resources. Maybe just other people as inspiration for the characters in the book.

Conclusion
For this project, I'm looking forward to every aspect of it: creating characters and their development throughout the novel, creating the plot, and actually writing the novel; are all things I enjoy doing. It's why I like writing.
