Not a great word count. Not even a NaNo minimum. But it is one thousand words I didn’t have earlier. Here’s a little excerpt from today’s effort. ————— Livvy and Sakura told her the hiker they’d been looking for in Maryland had been found, but he hadn’t been alive. “Oh? … Continue reading →
It’s NaNo month, so what did I do? I ordered books from Amazon a few weeks ago, and they’ve arrived. What goodies did I get? These two came last week: Responsible, Darlene Ryan Behind Closed Doors, Natalie R. Collins These came yesterday: The World Before, Karen Traviss Matriarch, Karen Traviss … Continue reading →
Two thousand and one words. That’s all there’s going to be tonight, but some interesting ideas got added to the outline tonight. I can only wonder what will be revealed tomorrow night.

Continue reading →I’m a few hundred words short for a “good” NaNo day, but I made good progress today. It’s certainly better than some earlier days. For the moment, the working title has absolutely nothing to do with where this story is at. I’ll worry about that later. I have to get … Continue reading →
