The Difference Between Writing a Novel and Writing a Blog

People often think writing a blog is easier than writing a novel. Is it?

Well... yes. And no.

A blog post might be 800 words. A novel might be 100,000 words. The word count is certainly different, but both require time, creativity, and plenty of editing.

Novel: Spend 100,000 words introducing a dragon, building a world, creating a villain, and saving the kingdom.

Blog: Explain why dragons fascinate us—in 800 words.

Several of the major scenes are now written—moments I've been building toward for a long time. There's still plenty of writing, editing, revising, and polishing ahead, but for the first time I can clearly see the finish line of Draft One.

My goal is to have the first draft completed by the end of July and ready for editing.

No promises—writing has a way of surprising me—but that's the...
