Doing NaNoWriMo again this year. This one will be a prequel to both Possum's story and Dragon's Last Whisper, with both Possum and Galen in it, Possum narrating. "Blood Will Have Blood". There will be lots of vampires, although I'm a bit embarrassed since vampires are so 'in' right now. I'm hoping that Possum's relentless mockery of them will soften their annoying fashionability. And, my vampires are scarcely the soft-porn pop-culture vampires that are mostly running around out there this year. Last year's effort, Tal's story, went well, and has been going well, but nowhere near finished.

Haha! I forgot all about this damned blog! Well, let's see... last year I cranked out 50k+ words of 'Rabbit, Moon', the Calla Station story, and there's still a lot of story to go. Haven't finished it. This year I did it again. This time around I started on the sequel to Winds. Yeah, it's not going to be pretty, but so far it's about a cavalryman named Tal. He'll run into Tyagi after the end of Winds. Then it will really get ugly. I also cheated and wrote 50k words of fiction for the month, not 50k in just one story. So I got in some progress in DLW as well. Now I just need to kill off a bunch of people and everything will be fine.

All right! NaNoWriMo 2007 has started, and I'm already up to 8+k words, and in Chapter 4. I decided to go with the Calla Station story, mostly because it's something entirely new, and all my other ideas were based on worlds and characters I already have. The basic Calla Station idea seemed less than inspirational, however, and it took the idea of adding a character that's been quietly hanging out in my head for a few years to get it moving. Aran first appeared in a poem I wrote, called "Rabbit, Moon", years ago, and he's never been able to see anything in the moon but a rabbit.

NaNoWriMo is about to roll around again. I'm due for another novel, so I'll give it a shot again. I am disappointedly not done with Dragon's Last Whisper. It went well for a while but I've been essentially stuck for months and months, although I've done a couple rewrites to try and get it back under control. That hasn't worked. I know what happens inthe big picture, I'm just having a hard time getting there. I'm in Chapter 12. There are several new characters or characters with greatly expanded roles, including Keye, Eus, Nkiju, Shooter Thompson ( I love Shooter), Uerch, Kinn, Muutsweeno, Slissar, Tolar, and my personal favorite, an extremely high Kaev. Even old Boot shows up. So do a ton of meese. I'll poke at it before November, but am going to have to admit, I think, that I'll have to set it aside for a while.
I did finish 'Saint Possum and the Ebon Miris', which was not a NaNoWriMo effort. It's my best novel so far. Finished it in June 2006 and have edited it a couple times now. I like it a lot. <3 Possum.
Now for something new. I've got several ideas for this year's novel, and am trying to decide which one I'll have the most fun with. 1) The sequel to Winds of this World. I know what happens. It's not pretty. 2) The story of the people at Calla Station, an isolated space outpost along a trade route, right at the edge of a particularly dangerous region of space. It's a bit like a lighthouse, and it's run by a family. This could be epicly long. 3) The story of what happened to Loquen after he went after the slavers. Meh. 4) The blood poisoning matter with the vampires (Juncture story with Possum and Galen, and Aulus too). This is more likely a short story or novella. 5) Redo of Spiritwalkers. Meh. No point in rewriting something old.
I've got a month or so to hash it out. Hopefully I pick something especially inspirational. November is going to suck time wise - two weeks on duty, including Thanksgiving, and a push from 2 separate guilds to play EQ in November (which I was going to drop for a month). Oh well - if I can squeeze in a trip to Mexico and get a novel out, I should be able to do it again this year, right? Right? Guh.

I'm up to Chapter 5 in book 2. Going well so far with a few surprises. The Daere are doing much more poorly than I originally thought they would be. Keye is apparently going to be more frequently seen. Galen has a few years of training and experience under his belt and ergo rocks. I suspect this is going to get bloody. cheers
