Update: Nanowrimo: 34,901 / 80,000

I haven’t quit and I’m still working. Spent four days doing nothing but editing and putting together a story bible for the new series and the editor. In these past FIVE days I’ve discovered my addiction to gaming could get out of control again, so I made a decision to pair down gaming back to ONE game. Final Fantasy 14. (That is, until Cyberpunk is dropped and then I’m all over that one.)

My job is also about to get more stressful as I will be taking on two hats come December. I’m hoping that will give me more time to write. I know it sounds weird, but I have my fingers crossed, while at the same time I’m a bit apprehensive. All I want to do is write. 

Soooo…Nanowrimo. I am now 34,901 out of 50,000 (Nano’s requirement). I won’t hit the 80K I have set for the book by the end of November, but I am happy to announce Mabon Hollow, Book One of Ravenwood Hills should be released in December. Soon as I figure out the title for Book Two (what I’m writing now) I’ll post up a cover reveal for Mabon Hollow and an excerpt. I just need a day off to work on the cover and get with the artist for Book Two’s cover (I can do this without a title buuuut, I like having a title). 

On track to finish Nanowrimo!

Nanowrimo: 16,946 / 80,000

Whew… didn’t make yesterday’s goal, but I made today’s. And I’m not upset. Mostly because I work a full time retail job and I’m also editing Book One. I’m off on Thursday so I plan on working on getting the cover reveal ready for Book One. I’ve had the cover for months…but my biggest deficit is time management. 

I’ve got a lot on the plate, including a house full of plumbing issues. Had a FANTASTIC master plumber come to the house last week to fix a problem with a cast iron P-trap. This dude is incredible. 

And yet…the water problems continue even as the writing and editing go on. Not to mention the RP site I’m trying to get going (basically free fiction in a gaming world) and making sure the most important bills get paid.

Nanowrimo: 11,770 / 80,000

Better, but still working my time between plumbing, and book one. 

I can’t wait to get this house fixed and sell it. I totally want to sell it and MOVE. 

I did have a revelation on the inciting incident so I’ve got that outlined for tomorrow’s writing session. That and trying to get book one to that point. 

I might have over extended myself.
