    Default Who here has written a novel or novels?

    And how did you prepare before writing it/them? Did you do a lot of research beforehand or just start writing? Did you have a concrete theme or setting decided upon before you started?

    Didn't see this thread before!

    I have written one but have not gotten it published. Yet. I am still hopeful. :-)

    I have always loved writing for fun and just in the last few years began thinking about possibly writing a REAL novel. This one was loosely based on a dream I had; it involves a lot of medical stuff that I didn't have a clue about (spinal cord injury, treatment, rehabilitation etc) so there was a LOT of research involved. It would not have been possible for me without computer access.

    The dream it was based on was just a VERY basic idea- small time singer injured in a car wreck, paralyzed from the waist down, his care-giver is one of his fans. So I had to do a LOT of fleshing out, and had several changes that I did not expect. See... my characters become real people to me and they often get ideas in their heads I did not count on.

    Hopefully in the not-so-distant future you will see a book called 'Healing Hearts' in print!

    Thanks Sarahfeena! I am really very proud of it; if you (or anyone else!) would like to read it, I would be MORE than glad to share it and hopefully get some unbiased feedback on it. If anyone is interested, just PM me your e mail addy and I'll send the Word Doc to you.
