Caught Up!

I've broken the 12K mark, which means I'm on target for October! Blood War is taking a rather interesting turn. I'm following the outline...mostly with a few changes here and there.

I've got a very old draft to work from as well, but none of that is making it into this one beyond the general drift of the story.

I'm toying around with doing the third volume; Blood Hands, but haven't decided for certain. I've pretty full up on my schedule, but we'll see.

I sent The Grave Watchers, last years Nano, off to a publisher, and Legion's Web is next up but that requires printing the whole damn thing and that's a whole lot of dead trees.
Any who, still chugging away at the January issue. I have high hopes for it. I really do.

Cheers

Catching up and Nano prep

I am catching up, I should break 10K shortly, which will put me on goal for the month. I'm also prepping for Nanowrimo next month.

Whew...

Mostly it's just some research and a general idea. No outlines, or any writing on it cause, that's the part of the thrill of the challenge.

I have a title, a general plan of attack and world scheme. Necromancy and You! A to Zombie, will fit into the Vampirism and You! world so I may do cameos, or not, of the characters from VAY.

More importantly, the steampunk edition of the CFM is coming along nicely, we're getting submissions and starting to sort through them. I have high hopes.

See you later.

Novel of the Month - Blood War

Novel of the month is Blood War.

Official starting word count : 1212 words. My shortest starting count to date, to help me prepare for the upcoming Nanowrimo.

Yikes, that's just next month. No idea what I'm going to write for it either.

In other news, the January Issue of the CFM is coming along nicely. We're featuring a couple artists, have an interview and book review and are currently taking submissions for art, articles and stories.

Our first featured artist is the lovely Rachel, whose gallery is on Devart.



























































She makes these adorable paper robots.

And they're articulated! They move! And they're made of paper!

Anyway, Blood War is the sequel to Blood Lines, one of my previous challenges. I'm going to start out with an outline (cause I ought to) and then buckle down. I'm starting a bit behind so I'm hoping to catch up this week.

Cheers.

Late Finish

As of October 3, 2010 I am done with Vampirism and You! It's shy of the word count I'd like it be, but I am happy with the ending.

It was a very different sort of thing to write, and I accomplished some things in it that I'm pleased with.

As for this month's novel of choice, waiting on a quick vote.
