You’re Creeping Me Out

I don’t know how much of this will stay when I edit this after NaNo, but it is words and they count, so who cares.

One of my main characters is meant to be a creeper. He has been watching the female lead for two years through windows etc. and under heavy glamours. He obviously is obsessed (another character points this out just prior to the following snippet, and tells Ciar what he really should do… and provides visual aides) and has plenty of free time on his hands.

It is meant to be disturbing, and I think I succeeded,

It Has Begun

And by “it” I am referring to both NaNoWriMo and my newest WIP, The Circled Green.

It’s 8.50am, I am sitting here at my house with Rebekah and we are writing away. Well, I was writing away, but I have finished my prologue and needed to check something. So, in the meantime, have a really really really rough prologue to tide you over, and also as my first snippet.

Make sense, no?

 
Even with death upon her, the end imminent, Lady Sorcha Darrow was still beautiful.

She had fought for two days, but ultimately she had lost. In the end death would always

NaNoWriMo Q&A

I normally

NaNo 2009

Just to let you know I have signed up for NaNo – my username is Amynta if you want to add me. It’s my first year, and I’ll be looking forward to it immensely.

I don’t think I’ll be able to get the full 50k (although if I do that’ll be bloody fantastic), but I do hope that this will motivate me into getting much more than my usual monthly amount written. 30k? I would love that, really.

Anyway, in the meantime I will be working on Lionheart (I did not know I was at the 63% mark until I checked

One Sentence

Over on the YA forum at the Absolute Write Water Cooler, we’re having fun with a little game: Your WIP In One Sentence. I have already posted my four up there, but I want to share them over here. They aren’t perfect, and they miss a heck of a lot out, and sometimes they seem long-winded… but it’s still fun.

LIONHEART: After he is killed and his sister kidnapped by the same magical force, Leander finds himself the champion of the force that resurrected him – the long-dead High Mage blamed for the destruction of their glorious empire – and
