It's November.
Yes, it's time once again for NaNoWriMo, in which thousands of utterly insane individuals attempt to write at least 50,000 words of a novel in 30 days. It's difficult, but quite possible. I've done it twice.
I'm not so sure of myself this time. I am not certain whether I can even reach 50,000 words on this thing in a month, let alone finish it; projected length is about 85,000. My heart is in it, but I have a lot of other demands on my time at the moment, and two unfinished projects I really need to finish this weekend. I fear I am starting out woefully behind the curve.
At any rate, I'm registered over at the official forums. I don't plan on doing much over there except updating my word count every now and then, but I thought I'd drop the link. There will be excerpts there, eventually. (Don't worry, I'll let you know when they go up, and when they get changed out.)
Anyway, the book.
Damon finally gets his story told. Yes, that Damon. I know it's geeky as hell to recycle a character concept from an RPG, but I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't think it was a genuinely compelling story. And it really, really is.
So, I started work today on Walk In the Shadows. (Thank you for the title, honey.)
1,351 words.
Personal update later. For now, here. Have a theme song.
Our secret's safe for one more night,
but when the morning comes remember
I'll be with you.
We'll walk in the shadows,
by day we'll live in a dream.
We'll walk in the shadows.
One day you'll be with me
if only you believe . . .
