Well, that was a bit unpleasant.
There was this election, you see. With lies and screaming and death and war and apocalypse and stupid people running amuck all the hell over and trying to get into our lovely forests and mountains and pretending to be nice to psych us out and then there were creepy machines and scary angry cavemen and roaring tyrannicori! And one of my rats got lost and I had to dig under the dresser to find her and I couldn't concentrate on work and I couldn't sleep and I think I'm working up another kidney stone and OMG!KILLER METEOR! and seven-legged calves and eclipses of the moon and the Harvard/Cornell hockey game. And motorcycles and voodoo cats and tragedy.
And then to add insult to injury they started teaching Creationism in Wisconsin, which is supposed to be one of ours, dammit.
SO I haven't got much work done on the NaNoWriMo project. I'm at 1,380 words in fact.
I did decide to scrap almost all the work I did on the first half of my first novel (aka 'the first book') and cut it back to a prologue and six chapters before moving directly into the second half of the novel (aka 'the second book'.) This will allow me to refocus on my original vision and have a stronger narrative/ thematic thread through the whole thing, befitting a singular work rather than a trilogy. |
