The end of Challenge 2

The Name of the Wind was an absolutely brilliant book, I couldn't really have picked better for this Challenge.

The writing style of the Name of the Wind flowed so well and felt so easy to read. Always, when I have been writing, I have struggled with making chapters seem around the same length, but here Patrick Rothfuss just throws away with that and some chapters are little over a paragraph. Perhaps its not a new thing, but to me it is completely new to the usual schema and inspires me to pick up my pen again. Something I was hoping for!

A journey almost as hectic and exciting as Kvothe's own!

In terms of reading I finished the book, as I said I would, at 8:00pm today. I hit a snag on the Saturday where I didn't read nearly as much as I meant to and so recovered for it today, in fact most of my day today was spent, laptop off, reading; Quite a feat if you know me.

The challenge, much like the previous one, has shown me what I can do if I put my mind to it; what I can achieve with a little bit of persistance, motivation, and, also, a deadline. Imagine if I turn my hand to other things in this manor, such as revision and coursework. I am definitely going to be aiming high in University this year. It's my final, most important, year!

So I will endevaour to write and be more motivated. It's hard and I've said it before but hopefully I have recruited some of my friends to push me on this and soon I should have a few chapters on my hands.

We can only try our best, right?
