Almost done with Chapter 1!!

I am so excited! I have been writing for the last few hours, and I'm almost done with Chapter 1 of my first book! Still working on a title, but I can always pick something out later. I originally deleted my first chapter this evening, not very interested in what I had written up to that point, and I am extremely happy that I did. I've got three solid characters, and the story line is moving along a lot better than what I had originally written. 


So far, I've got Kalida (who will be the main character), as well as Nichole and Briana (names subject to change, since these character's are based on two of my friends... who's actual names are Nichole and Briana). I'm writing it in third person, and have done fairly well so far with not mixing up past tense and present tense. I usually have trouble with keeping those separated.


Anyways, things are going fairly well, and hopefully I'll have Chapter 1 done tonight and ready for edits/proofing tomorrow :)
