Introduction

This is my first attempt to write a novel, spanning a word count about 50,000 words, more or less. It is the result of my decision to participate in Nanowrimo 2005, which I failed to win in the end. My final word count at the end of it was 42,467 words.

Quite a number of people in my life have strongly urged me to finish this half-done writing project, & some have also been eagerly awaiting further continuations of the story.

For all who have contributed in one way or another towards helping me write that initial 42,467 words... I want to say thank you. I am still an amateur & very unconfident writer, so every bit of encouragement you gave meant the world to me.

I am now attempting to edit & hopefully complete this novel in due time. Please do be patient, and give me as much feedback & comments as possible. The plot is not really fixed, so you could possibly contribute to the outcome of the story. I shall notify all of you via email each time I update something here, to make things easier for you.

Once again, thanks for your support. I hope you enjoy The Screaming Silence. Happy reading.
