It's the End of NaNoWriMo

65k

August 31st marks the official end of Camp NaNoWriMo, and though I hit 50k on 25th August, I'm still plugging away on my novel, to get this first draft finished.

My current word count is 65, 440 and I'm sort of building towards endgame. I think I have about ten scenes left to write, if I don't add any more random ones! Things are still going well, though I am seeing all the parts that'll need work. Thankfully I'm managing to resist the temptation to edit!

A lot of my motivation is coming from word warring with Kyra Lennon, I think we've done it most days this week. It's really helping us both, and is a lot of fun.

I don't have a snippet to share with you today, but that's because I'm saving it for Six Sentence Sunday, which I'm doing again this week.

I wanna give a special shout out to fellow NaNo buddies, Candilynn Fite, Laura at Stanger than Writing, Laura at My Baffling Brain and Viklit. Whether you reached 50k or not, each of you ladies have inspired, encouraged and motivated me. Thank you, and I'm proud of what you've achieved.

Anyone else doing NaNo who I've missed, or anyone currently working on something, let me know how you're progressing. I'd love to hear all about it.

I'll be back tomorrow with my meet and greet post for Gearing Up To Get An Agent.

Six Sentance Sunday: 26.08.12


I'm here today with the 6 Sentence Sunday (weekly) bloghop hosted by Sara Brookes.

The idea is pretty simple really: Pick six (6) sentences from anything you like (it can be from a Work in Progress (WiP), something you recently sold, something you hope to sell or even something already under contract and available for purchase – and don’t worry, Six Sentence Sunday is for published AND unpublished writers). Then post them on your blog on Sunday. That’s all there is to it! (for the full rules/ FAQ see here.)

For today's 6 Sentence Sunday, I'm sharing lines from my current WiP, Camp NaNoWriMo paranormal romance, Cupid.

"Celestea and the rest of the Cupids spread love, passion, and devotion, Abraxas is all about lust, passing infatuations, and dark obsessions."

"Okay, and when you say I'll belong to him, you mean …"

"You will become part of his collection."
The word sparked a memory in my mind. My throat felt suddenly dry, and my chest tight. I thought I'd imagined him.

I hope you enjoyed my six sentences, and please check out the other participants here.

I'm still deciding if I'm going to take part every week, but it's highly likely.
