Omfg, I really cannot believe it. I'm in shock, I'm stunned, I'm in disbelief. Utter disbelief. I've had an awesome day, and I think that really helped carry me down the home stretch but still, part of me can't believe it's OVER. This part, at least. There's still lots of work to do before I can make something out of it, but oh my god. Seriously, guys, this is unreal. Final excerpt!: ---- Standing in the room he had called his own for so many long years, Cole gazed out at what had been the ...

And here's part two! This one covers everything I didn't get to in part one, haha. And because I still have dinner to make for myself, and work to get ready for, I don't have time for lots of rambling in my side-blurb today. So have an excerpt: ---- Sofia's smile was gone and after a stretch of silence, she nodded, eyes turning to drink in the sight of the wet garden once more. Felipe looked to Cole. "They might yet come along." "It seems unlikely," Cole all but mumbled to himself, leaning ...

This one gets cut in half because of my Mum, bless her! Sorry I missed you all yesterday, it was a reeeeeally long day and I couldn't write :( I'll get down to business in part two of this account, because this one is really short and doesn't really go anywhere XD

Loooooooong day so I didn't get much done, but progress is progress! That's the thing to remember. You have to find the positives in everything or you'll just end up a miserable old bugger with no friends :| And now, pseudo-wisdom aside. Excerpt time: ---- It was with a heavy, tired sigh spilling forth that he stepped from the trees and onto the large, stretching plot where the fallen lay in their final resting places. It looked so peaceful and undisturbed, misleadingly serene, with not a ...

Might change how I title these, since technically this is Day 31 of working on this novel. Hmmmm. Opinions? I don't have a lot of time today, I have dinner to cook, hair to blowdry and emails to check, so this will be brief. Excerpt: ---- It meant that every time they moved, possessions had to be sacrificed, abandoned. Every member of the pack had things they did not count as prized, but for Cole, it was growing more and more troublesome to pick out what meant something to him and what did ...

Aaaand here's part two. This one is more thoughts and feelings, a general run-down of how I feel the month went, how it left me as a writer, what my plans are for my novel's conclusion etc etc. It's a lot of talking and I just share how it's left me after thirty days. It really has been an amazing month, I'm so glad I opted in for nano this year. Definitely no regrets from me! I'll be back tomorrow with the first ( Origin ) video, so if you want to continue hearing about the novel and my ...

Made two videos back to back because I had a lot to say today. I share my thoughts and feelings on the novel and this year's experience, and also talk a bit about what I did in today's chunk of novel, obviously. I'm really close to the end now. It's kind of scary. I'll put the excerpt in this part, since part two mainly deals with my goals for completing the novel and what I'm going to do with it after it's done: ---- Everything crashed back into focus as Kristiana screamed with her strike ...

Reached 60K at last! Feel pleased with that but today's a bit of a cranky day for me, mood-wise. I don't know, I sound relatively cheerful in my video but who knows? Anyway! In a bit of a rush, on my way out after dinner, so here we go! Excerpt: ---- Sharp, young screams from the right turned him away from his path, and he looked over the clash of a vampire and a wolf to see one of the coven, one of the presumed twins. Before him and the blade he wielded in his pale hands were two children ...

Only two days left! I am so knackered today, it's not even funny. I look like I'm about to drop down dead in this video :( Woes. So yes, not much writing done today at all, but that's not surprising really. Ummm, this blurb is short too, because I'm so ridiculously sleepy. Tiny excerpt: ---- Beside him Felipe and Sofia remained in their wolfen forms but at his left, Elsabeth stumbled to a halt, favouring one forelimb, and then she all but fell back into her human guise, wincing and gasping ...

Not much got done today but there are a few reasons why. I go into detail in the video, as usual! Made a couple of edits in the novel today, only small ones but yes. Ummmm, need to get myself some lunch and fight off nausea and a headache, so this is a brief one! Excerpt!: ---- As he ran, his paws thundering over the forest floor, Cole felt dread sinking lower and further into the core of his being, the mere thought of Kristiana anywhere near the pack chasing an icy flash of fear through his ...
