First blog post

It’s Wednesday, my dudes!

It’s also November 1st, which means that NaNoWriMo has begun! I am pleased to announce I wrote 1,963 words today to the nostalgic sounds of the Chrono Trigger soundtrack.

Lari is lost, confused, and generally handling things better than I think she should be. Being lost in a strange world is terrifying after all. Or at least it should be. Poor girl. I’ll have to throw some more terrible things at her.

The writing prompt tells me to explain why I started a blog. Who cares! It’s fun. It’s a place to ramble where nobody has to listen if they don’t want to. If they’re going to listen/read, then that is their business.

I suppose there will be updates on my novels if I ever get around to finishing or publishing one. Subversion (staring Lari and Venn) is my NaNoWriMo project for 2017. Seducing the Djinn was my Camp NaNoWriMo project this past summer. It’s at 50,000 or 60,000 words now, and the plot stinks. It makes no sense, there is no conflict, nothing terrible happens, and I want to vomit on the whole thing. But that’s what first drafts are for I’m told.

What know that our high school teachers had it right on this whole “do a rough draft then fix it and make it good thing”? Oh well. Props to them.

I am also planning on doing an epistolary novel on Wattpad where you can also find me as Elena Landis. Don’t get too excited yet. I made the cover for it, and that’s about it.

Back to real adult work for now. And the puppy. He’s a little clingy today.
