National Novel Writing Month begins November 1, and yes, I’m going to do my best again this year to see what I can do to get another book wrapped up. I’m currently 3 for 3 and feeling pretty good.
Rick got me a super comfy purple Stitch sitting on the Iron Throne hoodie. I’ve got a new one handed keyboard/mouse combo that looks like a geek’s version of brass knuckles. My desk is mostly cleared off of all the chainmail supplies it normally holds. My notebooks are ready. And I’ve had two book ideas percolating, and I finally settled on one.
One of the things I found most disappointing about Nessa’s story is that there wasn’t the opportunity to go into the history of the Fae in more detail- well, buckle in, cause that’s where we’re headed next. Part history, part adventure, part ‘where do faerie tales come from’, I really want to take some time to flesh out the ideas in my head, connecting back to what the heck would it be like to be a modern faerie?
It’ll only have a tangential connection to Nessa’s world, so don’t go in expecting a sequel of some kind, you’ll be hugely disappointed.
And yes, there will be Cliche.
What you can expect are fewer thoughtful blog postings, more random conversation repeats, and maybe some golden oldies coming back… I’ll see what I can do. Figure I’m working a 8-10 hour day job, then hammering out my word count every night… plus Rick likes to get to talk to me every now and then. So yeah.
For now, I’m outlining away, super excited, and belting in for another NaNoWriMo November.
