NaNo Story Bit

This NaNo is being a pain and I am way behind. So have a bit, and I’ll come talk more after I win this blasted challenge. This is first draft, and also a scene that won’t be in the book. It’s basically me poking about, trying to figure things out so I can write the […]

I am not complaining. This is an utterly wonderful thing I am doing, and I have great hopes that all my work now will pay off later. I am not complaining. At all. But wow! There sure is a lot of work wrapped up in this project! I’ve been poking at the cover, trying to
