Just another writer with insomnia. I wander the night looking for stories as I try to avoid falling into open manholes.
And so Novel November begins with 2,764 words!
While investigating a series of linked homicides, Detective Marlowe Bennett discovers she may be the next target while her teenage son, part of a radical online chat groups, secretly tries to expose her potential killer.

Embarking on a new adventure -- outlining a story using the snowflake method. So far, the structured approach has helped reign in my chaotic brain. Would recommend.

Finished the first draft a few weeks ago and now it's time to get serious about editing. No problem. Shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks.
Did I mention I've decided to change the POV from 3rd to 1st?
I'm such an idiot.

I'm not saying I wouldn't duck if someone threw a foot-long sandwich at me, but I'd certainly pick it up and eat it, not chase after the miscreant.

A hill I am willing to die on: Characters are more important than plot. I'd gladly read fun characters doing their laundry, but even the best plot isn't gonna compel me enough to make me read about boring or unlikable characters.

I just hope the series doesn't end as badly as "Lost"
If it's any comfort, there's a bunch of alien lifeforms gathered around an interstellar viewing devise somewhere gorging on whatever grain they blow up to make snacks & declaring that this is an absolutely fantastic season of "Earth!"

I want someone to write a ripped bodice story where the heroine gets her clothes caught and torn off by a passing horse as she drives a javelin through the armor of a misogynistic knight?
Oh, wait--maybe I should write it.

If you are anxious, cranky, and looking for a Nazi to punch, do the world a favor -- find a person to be nice to. Someone who is overlooked. Someone who is in the midst of their own crisis. They need it, and it will be good for you as well.
And by all means, if you come across a Nazi, punch 'em.
