I posted the excerpt from the novel on the NaNoWriMo page as well, and someone read it and sent me the following comment and I had to share it because it totally made my day:
Adam,
Your excerpt is great! I love Stephen King and I think you do a great job of emulating his ability to create relatable, human characters, while nevertheless retaining your own voice. Keep it up!
Well alllllright!
I’ll be halfway done on Sunday, though I’m realizing what I’m writing is probably going to end up being nothing more than a pretty coherent outline. To really make it the novel I envision, 50,000 words just isn’t enough. I’m going to try to go back and expand on things to get the word count closer to 100,000 – 120,000 after the basic story is worked out this month.
Anyway, thanks again for all the kind words and support through email, Twitter and DM, and NaNo mail.
