Measure Me for a Straitjacket...
Yup, I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo.
I was going to do the July edition, but William started banging around in my head. (It's like life hasn't thrown him enough lemons!) and so the writing of Draft 1 of Book 3 got bumped to April. Because I'm not insane enough with finishing Book 2, work, William's appointments, travel plans (visiting the parental units for Dad's 50th birthday at the end of the month) and what passes vaguely for a social life. Ah well.
And of course, two hours before I traditionally begin any NaNo project (midnight!) I realized that I had to stitch a final plot hole in Glass Slipper. It wasn't a SERIOUS one, but it was an inconsistency that stuck out like a sore thumb and would have made me look like an idiot.
So I have to fix that which means actually adding two or three (or more) pages of all new writing to Draft 3-the final draft before my beta reader gets his (or possibly her) hands on it. Sheesh! That should be sewn up tonight, but it does mean I'm going to spend about four solid hours writing tonight between work, GSC draft and then starting Blood Moon Rising.
Hello Straitjacket...
If you'd like to join me in the madness, you wanna go roight here:
www.campnanowrimo.org to sign up.
If you just want to follow me and yell at me for not making my daily word count, you can go here:
http://campnanowrimo.org/campers/tana... (you'll also get the synopsis for Book 3 and an excerpt, oooooohhhh! I absolutely do not guarantee that the final product will look much like the bits you'll see here though. In fact, I'd point out that it probably won't bear much similarity, ha ha.)
Or you can keep following my blog here.
So how's things going on Book 2?
Almooooossstt dooooonnnneeeee! Then it goes to my readers (assuming he can do it, otherwise, my sister is getting drafted for the role of plot hole, character inconsistency, problem finder). Then it goes to my dad the grammar/spelling/missing word finder king and THEN it goes to the publisher and my cover artist (he better do Book 2!) hopefully this summer to be released by Christmas. Yay!

What's on the shelf:
Grave Peril by Jim Butcher.
I'm having a HELL of a time getting into 2312. Maybe I'm just not in a hard Sci-fi mood, but I think it'll be going back to the library again. sigh.
To all Camp NaNoWriMo folks: see you at the finish line!
To my readers: see you soon! I'll likely be giggling softly and rocking gently in a corner by April 30, ha ha!
