I am on a writing streak at the moment. It is Sunday now, and I have written, am writing, will continue to write. Expect a lot of chapters over the next wee while. In the meantime, this is the chapter I wrote on Wednesday. That should hold you!

Chapter One is open to the general public - anyone wanting to read further (as I create), please comment and I'll add you to a special filter. Thanks to everyone who replied to yesterday's poll!

Empathy for the Devil: Chapter One
( I cannot sleep )

I haven't updated for ages and ages - sorry lovely people!

I've been challenged, and have no reason not to, so I've signed up for NaNoWriMo 2005. As of yesterday I had an opening line ... now I have 2021 words, a main character, a title, and a vague idea of a plot. This makes me happy. I've also realised that writing BEFORE checking email and ( Read more... )

It's a lovely morning here in New Plymouth. I should know, as I've been up enjoying it since 5:15am. A completely ludicrous hour for a Saturday morning ... maybe my body has decided it's had enough sleep this week ( Read more... )

I have just re-activated my NaNoWriMo account, and am now counting down to the big day - November 1st. I've just realised that I'm actually on holiday for the first week of November - down in New Plymouth with FuzzyBen - so I have a cunning suspicion that I'm going to be up bright and early and banging away on my uncle's computer while everyone ( Read more... )
