20 Time Update 3/31/20

Over the past week I've managed to get about two more chapters in which it takes me to having just finished Chapter 3.

In order to be a successful author, I have to know how to write to the best of my ability and make everything in a story flow. But, if I'm unable to fix this, I could potentially get rejected from publishers when I want my book to get out there. 3) Glimmer of Hope - My hopes for this project is that I can see how I can reword things and make the story better. While I'm writing it, I think I might look at some writing tips on the internet ti further help me solve my problem. 4) The Novel Situation - My idea can help me become a writer because it goes along with the saying, "Practice makes perfect." By practicing my writing my skills with this novel, I can hopefully see impr...
