It was the steed of a dead god. Cel had always been told as much, but seeing the Abysswalker up close for the first time made it undeniable. Even though it wasn't a horse or any other beast of burden. Within seconds of seeing the large hump of it's back, covered with metallic feathers that... Continue Reading →
Camp NaNoWriMo 2021: Week 12 (Bonus) – Memory, My Project for Camp NaNoWriMo 2021, Is Finally Complete
I . . . cannot even begin to express how I feel right now. On one hand . . . so happy. Ffs, I finally finished it. Two full months late, but still, I finally finished Memory. On the other hand . . . so tired. Why? Because I've discovered that when I'm writing a... Continue Reading →
Camp NaNoWriMo 2021: Week 11 (Bonus) – I Am Right There
Seriously, Memory is in phase 1 of the final boss fight. I am so goddamn close. I probably only need a single extra day. And that's only because my week was pretty hellish. Because I went to a specialist about my knee and discovered that although my knee will heal on it's own, I really... Continue Reading →
Camp NaNoWriMo 2021: Week 10 (Bonus) – One More Week
I think I only have this one, last week and then Memory is done. Because the third act is going very smoothly. And that smoothness is really reminding me how much I can get done when I'm not constantly struggling with scene logistics. The finale--specifically the part I just started writing earlier today--is one of... Continue Reading →
Camp NaNoWriMo 2021: Week 9 (Bonus) – One of Those 0+1-1+1 = 1 Weeks
You ever have a great idea for an additional scene (we're not talking about the Cave Scene here) for a novel? Something that is genuinely great, so you go ahead and take a day or two to add it and make sure it's clean. But then realize, "Wait a minute . . . That actually... Continue Reading →
Camp NaNoWriMo 2021: Week 8 (Bonus) – We’re in the Endgame Now
We . . . . . . made it. We . . . are out of act 2. There was a moment when I realized that I need to change the monster from the Cave Scene, but I was immediately like, "No, I am not going back to change that chapter again this week! "I... Continue Reading →
Camp NaNoWriMo 2021: Week 7 (Bonus) – I Was So Close to the Endgame
Ugh. You guys, seriously, I am right there. I was fully intending on being stubborn and writing all night, posting at 4am that, "We're in the endgame now." But then I realized that what stands between me and that endgame . . . is the fight at the end of the second act. A fight... Continue Reading →
Camp NaNoWriMo 2021: Week 6 (Bonus) – We Are Not Yet in the Endgame
Yep, I was overconfident about how far I would get this week. To give myself credit, I haven't written yet today (although I started the day with my first D&D session in over a month, so I feel totally justified). My point is, technically, I will be further along by 2AM. However, full disclosure--staying honest--I... Continue Reading →
Camp NaNoWriMo 2021: Week 5 (Bonus) – Yep–I’m Basically Adding a New Chapter
Hey, everybody. I am fresh off of a meeting with my writing group and feeling wildly optimistic about Memory. Because it turns out I didn't waste my week outlining an additional chapter for the novel! Well, I say an additional chapter, but really I'm just extending an existing chapter and adding a fight scene to... Continue Reading →
Shifting Posts Back to Sunday
Hello. I'm writing this to explain that, hey, I'm moving posts back to Sunday now that NaNoWriMo is over. And, yes, I realized yesterday that A) I did not mention that shift in my last post and B) I should mention it on here, via a quick post like this one. But then I got... Continue Reading →
