So, as it turns out sleep is important.

My 24-hour challenge took about 28 hours (I foolishly allowed myself time for sleep and the occasional break from writing), but I'm done with the first draft of my new novella, Devil's Bane. I could have written a bit faster, but I ended up making a few departures from my plan. It ultimately made for a better story, but it also meant that it took a bit longer to write.

At just over 20,000 words, Devil's Bane is pretty tightly paced. It follows Rory, Gwydion, and the coven in the events that led up to The Claiming.

I have to say, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm hoping to have it completely edited and ready to go by the end of April or early May.
