YES! + Day 1

Karma has come around.

After finishing my beta work as soon as school let out, I had a lovely new set of ideas to swirl around my brain. Mostly romance, since that was the last work I'd critiqued, but I set off today on the

Double NaNo Challenge:

Two months, two novels.

Day one progress: (starting small) 10 handwritten pages, 1 1/2 chapters

Anyhow, after five pages I set my journal down (writing in the car gets to you pretty quickly), and since we were parked, decided to refresh my memory on how I had begun Book 3.

I'm a sucker for books- I'm one of those people who can't stop reading once we grab hold of cover. (Hence why I stopped during the high school year- too much competing for my time) In general, though, I don't get lost in my own books. At least, I didn't use to.

My main character? Ariel. Read through each of her scenes, laughing in most of them, until I came to a blank page and demanded to know why it was so.

*awkward cough* I was glad I was in a parking lot. You're always free to think the strange looks were intended for someone else.

Anyhow, that blank page was the end of the journal. I think five months have passed since I wrote it. On the bright side, I'm uber motivated to write; the con is that I think my quality of writing went down, and I'll need to pull it up by then so it matches when I flesh out the first draft of Book three.

Until then, I'm forcing myself to remove the word 'revise' from the list of words that can be comprehended.

Side note: I'll be visiting family during next week, so I may not be blogging daily about the double NaNo, but I'll do it as often as I can.
