Writing A Novel

So far it's going along really slowly.  I thought by now that I would have at least a few chapters done, but all I've got so far is just a few paragraphs.  I'm thinking of just starting over from scratch.  I just need to sit back and gather up all my notes and make time to write and write and write.  So as I stated in an earlier post it's going to take a lot longer to finish the novel than expected and once again, so be it.  Hopefully I will have it done before I turn 40 (hopefully).
