Yesterday I’ve been thinking…What if I try to write a novel?
I know I can write. At least, better than I can literally speak. If you find me in a room full of people, perhaps I would be the most quiet person. Make no mistake, I can be noisy sometimes but that would mean I’m quite comfortable with the people around me.
I’m typically an introvert, believe it or not. 
My fingers do the talking and since I face a monitor, that has made my social environment a lot easier.
My lack of talking skills gave way to improve my writing skills, and my typing speed, I should say.
My writing may be very good to those whose talents are far from writing, mediocre to those who are better, and poor to the literary geniuses. That’s ok, I’m not competing against anyone else but my own. I’m not competing at all. I just want to have fun and if I can earn from the fun I’m having, why not?
It is not my style to pose challenges but I don’t backout of them either. When I set challenges, though, it will be for myself only as I try to improve myself.
It will not be the first time to challenge myself in writing, though. When I started the 365 Days Of Poem Blogging, I challenged myself to write a poem everyday for 365 days. It’s more of asking myself if I can write a poem at a moment’s notice. It was a failure and a success at the same time, depending on how you look at it. I got so busy for a series of days that I was not able to post a poem that I thought I will continue and start all over again (take 2). So you may look at it as a failure since I wasn’t able to make it through 365 days in a row. On the other hand, I was able to prove to myself that I can write whenever I think to write one, even at a moment’s notice. Actually, as I bloghop, many times I post comments poetically.
It may not be a Shakespeare, a Baron or a Browning,
What matters is what I’m currently thinking;
Poetically written and understood by most,
That’s how I prefer it, so no one gets lost.
Now, I’m thinking of another writing adventure. A path I’ve never yet taken in my entire life…writing a novel. I have no plot yet, no characters, no nothing to start with yet. I’m thinking of writing it spontaneously and allow the story to flow as it comes across my mind. What genre? I have no idea yet.
Just now, I’m thinking of getting its own domain. Another blog. A novel in the making. Yeah, I think that’s a good idea. Hmm…why not A Novel In The Making as the blog’s title so it can be flexible to hold several novels if I ever reach that point.
What do you think?

Update: I just bought the domain! All I need now is to set it up.
