NaNoWriMo Prep

NaNoWriMo is fast approaching and for the first time in five years, I'm stepping out of Payton's world, and leaping into a new one, this time alongside Liv, Casey, Ali, Lilah, and Andy!! Earlier this year I started working on a new story for LoNoWriMo, a writing endeavor which ultimately failed miserably, except that it birthed this idea! I've been very slowly chipping away at this all year, mostly in the planning sense, but occasionally writing, and today I decided to sit down with Kindred Spirits and get back in the writing groove before diving in on November 1st. And boy was I shocked by the outcome... 

I never intended to write over 2,000 words in this sitting. I was just hoping to get over the hump that had stumped me last time I tried to tackle it, but I can't say I'm at all disappointed with the outcome! 
Of course, the only downside with achieving this much before November is that I will run out of story long before I hit the 50,000 word mark for the month. Luckily I'm prepared for that! 

I knew going into writing Kindred Spirits for NaNo that, being an eBook, which I had already chipped away at through the year, there wouldn't be enough of it to sustain me throughout November. Thankfully though, Kindred Spirits is only the first book in the Sisters of East Hartleigh series! If all goes well, I'll be moving onto the second eBook, Burning Desire, fairly early in the month, and if they stick to their intended word counts (honestly, who knows how that will go), I'll get started on book three, Shaken Ground, ​before the end of November. 

I've learned my lesson, and I make no promises about keeping this blog updated, but who knows, stranger things have happened! Watch this space for (very) occasional updates on how it all goes!
