NOVA, NaNo and no words


Quote for the day
Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.

91535_poetic_tea_1I have run out of time, and missed sending off the short story I wrote for NOVA. That is perfectly OK, as I also just could not fit any more words into the story to push it over the 2k word minimum. So, I have decided to post it instead, and I would like to invite some feedback.

We have also just kicked off a new project at work, that is going to run right through to the end of November, which means I will probably not have time for NaNo either – but I am not giving up hope on that one, just yet. Even if I just get the outline for the sequel done in November I will be happy.

At least it would seem as if the words have returned again. I scribbled down some notes for another story yesterday morning, and I have had words and stories and conversations floating through my head all day. The last chapter of The Novel is also nagging at me again, and I think it is the reason I have put off sending out my queries for such a long time. So, I will, this week-end, start with what will hopefully be the last rewrite.
