And so the madness begins. 1669 words, and off I go. That’s a decent start. NaNoWriMo, that’s what I’m talking about. An international competition where you challenge yourself to write a 50000-word novel in 30 days. The November insanity which has had me writing a trilogy of fantasy books. This…

NaNoWriMo success!
Hell yes! NaNoWriMo done, and with four whole hours to go. That’s more than I usually manage, in the way of deadlines. The third novel in my trilogy (known by the name of Wings on my Back), is thus complete. The first draft of it, that is. Craptastic as it…

The madness begins
Oh my gods. What have I done? I have just killed two of my characters, characters I really liked. It was painful to write. This story is certainly starting to live its own life, and I am being sucked right into it. It is a wonderful and horrible feeling. Intense, in any case.…

NaNoWriMo
Well well, VeganMoFo didn’t go too bad! I didn’t reach the goal of 20 posts, but 15 is quite impressive considering my usual blogging frequency. Also taking into account that october was an insanely busy month study-wise it becomes rather fantastic. Yay, success! Hope you enjoyed it and maybe got…
