I'm looking over older sections of The Circled Green and just realised one of my characters just had a "JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION GET IN THE CAR" sort of reaction to a faerie dude showing up ( Read more... )

First of all: I reached the 45k mark for The Circled Green. So hooray for that. My goal is to reach 55k by the end of the month, which means I have to write about 500 words a day. As that's what I have been writing for the past little bit, that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

What I'm finding interesting about The Circled Green is that right ( Read more... )

Everyone else is making their resolutions, so I’ll introduce you to some of mine. Other than the old standards of “lose weight” and “stop biting fingernails” and the new addition of “get a job”, the rest of writing-related.

• Finish Lionheart draft by end of March.

As my writing friends/betas know, I am paranoid about the possibility that I am a bad writer.

I don’t know how much of this will stay when I edit this after NaNo, but it is words and they count, so who cares.

One of my main characters is meant to be a creeper. He has been watching the female lead for two years through windows etc. and under heavy glamours. He obviously is obsessed (another character points this out just prior to the ( Read more... )

And by “it” I am referring to both NaNoWriMo and my newest WIP, The Circled Green.

It’s 8.50am, I am sitting here at my house with Rebekah and we are writing away. Well, I was writing away, but I have finished my prologue and needed to check something. So, in the meantime, have a really really really rough prologue to tide you over, and also as my ( Read more... )
