So many things have been happening lately...
1) NaNoWriMo is upon us. And yes, I pledged to write a novel. I can't believe it's almost time already but I'm also eager to finally start my first Ravenscroft book. Hopefully, it (*I*) won't disappoint... I sketched the beginning of an outline (got the first few chapters sorted out) but I've got no idea, not-a-one as to what will the rest of the novel hold... I've tried thinking of endings or even what the Second Act might look like and......... nothing. Flatline. So I guess I'll just write the rest from the seat of my pants! (I've done this before. In fact, my last NaNo was all about pantsing!) Should be fine... And really can't wait till I can finally start. I feel like I'm just stewing now. I wanna move forward!
Only 17 days till NaNo Day 1.
Of course, you'll be able to read all about it here! :)
2) I have been working on my Ravenscroft career a bit. The website is coming along nicely (I've got some little sneak peeks for you guys ^_^) and I've opened accounts with Smashwords and Createspace! I'm all set to go indie! I think....
(Well, I still got some US/IRS forms to fill but I'd rather not think about those right now :P)
Here are the little previews. Of course, they're full of placeholders right now but at least, you can get an idea of the look and feel of the website. :)
4) On a personal level, my next Disney trip is coming fast (and will eat up some of my NaNo time so I don't expect to win this year but hey, at least I'll try!) I've also got a whole family Halloween party to plan and set so quite frankly, I feel like I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and it'll be December! o_O
5) Last but definitely not least: my mom is in the hospital for two days now. As I write these lines, she's having a minor operation to unclog some arteries. Everything should go fine but it meant for her to be away for a few days and unfortunately, the timing is really bad for her not to be at work so I'm filling in for her for the week. So yeah, a bit more money for me but a little less time as well!
So I basically just flew by to give you the latest news (and overthrow that silence that had been ruling over this blog for the past weeks). I must scurry away again but I'll be back soon with more news, I promise!
Until then, take care, my friends! :)
Wow!! You've been so busy! (How's your mum? Is she doing better?) Congrats on everything you're doing! Half-pantsing sounds like the perfect idea :D You're going to have so much fun!! <3

I also hope your mother is doing well - please let us know when she gets out of the hospital. I've been thinking about you constantly and I'm glad to see that things are progressing so well for you! And super high-five about being prepared for NaNo already. I just...wont get into that for now...>_>
ReplyDeleteI think if it happens, I'll actually be *gulp* pantsing it myself this year.
