I am writing a novel

I have often thought it would be nice to write a novel.

There have been several attempts to start writing a novel, but they have always come to nothing.

But this time it might be different. This time I am looking at entering a novel writing competition. The prize is a £25,000 advance and a contract with a literary agent -one of the judges- and an option to have it published. My wife has set me a challenge to enter the competition.

The competition is being run by Good Housekeeping magazine.

I have decided that even if I do not win the competition that I will publish the novel myself, perhaps as a Kindle book.

I will let you know what happens.
