Tomorrow is Samhain/Halloween. The next day is the start of NaNoWriMo. If you've read this blog before, you know I usually participate and this year is no exception. Ours is a very active region both in person and virtually so feel free to join us if yours isn't as much so. Central Iowa Authors in Iowa (of course).
A few months ago I finally started getting back into the writing groove again. This time last year I went to a very personal and dark place that spun my attempt at a story out of control. So I've been focusing on sorting that out. While not perfect by any means, I think I'm in a much better place to get some new words out into the universe.
What am I writing this year? This afternoon my characters informed me that it's a sequel of sorts to By The Pen. Same world and a central character has worked closely with Caelan in the past. Right now I have a cast of characters, location and the beginning of the story. But as of right now I still have over 30 hours to figure out the rest. Right? Yeah, I'm what they call a pantser for the most part though I plan at least a few scenes ahead and I have an idea of where the main characters end up. Oh and I have a list started on who is going to die and how. So I should be all set to go.
Anyone else out there doing NaNoWriMo this year? What are you writing?
