It nagged at me, constantly, brutally until I planted my angel wings in the chair and wrote. But life has a way of interfering with our plans and while I had such high hopes of finishing the NaNoWriMo [National Novel Writing Month] a winner having put 50,000 words on the page in one month, I fell shy by about 6,000 words.
I wrote 44,000 words and got a roaring start to the second novel in the dragon series, Dragons Among the Eagles. I've a personal goal to have it to my publisher by the first of January 2011. Hopefully with all the magic Rogue Phoenix Press manages, the novel will hit the book shelves in June 2011. That's the plan.
Stay tuned.

From all of the input from all of the author who I know have participated, this does sound like a writing month of insanity. You should be very proud of yourself and the great work you do.

Hey, Sable! I think writing 44,000 words makes you a winner!
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with Allana and the "insanity" of trying to write in the midst of the holidays. I wasn't officially part of NaNo and was a slacker by their standards: I wrote just under 23,000 words in November. However, I'm consoling myself that those scenes don't need much editing.
Maybe one of these years I'll be insane enough--I mean brave enough to try NaNoWriMo.
Hooray for you for that "roaring start." I'm rooting for you to cross the finish line by January 2011!
