Completed Nano again, for the fourth year running and I love what I’ve produced. It really took on a life of its own and it’s at a point where it could be left as the short first book in a series - which would work well seeing as I had a younger audience than the Portal series in mind for this one.
I have a writing buddy. We challenge each other, we compete and we also support each other in our writing. But we write in very different ways and an email from NaNo made me think about it this morning.

Now, where was I….
Oh yes, Salisbury - where Peter, and new friend Colette, ended up spending the night near the cathedral and where Peter was told he was going the wrong way, by a sheep.
Today they’re on the run again on stolen horses, sleeping in an abandoned cottage somewhere near Oxford, and heading roughly North but trying to avoid any sheep on the way because most of the Flock are under the control of the Ovine brethren.
Colette doesn’t want to learn to knit, but she can cook….
Almost 18,000 words done and a third of the way to the finish line of 50,000.
November is here and I’m writing like a mad thing again. It’s day nine today and the NaNoWriMo forums have slowly come back up to speed after being clogged with the surge of new sign ups and heavy load that always happens during the first week or so.

No, I don’t. At the moment I am full of ideas and just taking a break until NaNo starts, at which point writing will kick off again, fast and furious - but I don’t think it’ll be another Portal book. I want to write something completely different.
