I've got my coffee, I've got my ambient music playing, and I've even got a little snack!

Time to get some words on paper. The goal today is 3k to make up for the chaos of this week.

ONLY THEN will I let myself play with the Character and Setting Boards 🤭

I just discovered exactly how extensive the boards are on Reedsy 👀

I'm excited I have tomorrow off work, because I'm probably gonna be working on character boards, and other organizational boards on top of catching up on my word count 😅

The simple people of Bending Brook have no burgers, but they do have a lovely perpetual stew that keeps them fed through the winter. ☺️

From Chapter 3

She peered into the large simmering stew pot and breathed deeply. It smelled wonderful, full of wild garlic and onion, large chunks of elk, potatoes and purple carrots. Greta truly had a gift. She could turn any pile of random ingredients into a work of art in in that stew pot. Sionna ladled herself a large helping, and settled herself into a chair at the table opposite the jumpy woman and her potatoes.

It's one week into my #ReedsyNovelSprint attempt, and sitting at 11,677 words, an introduction, and two chapters! No lie, most I've written in 3 years combined. I'm so proud of myself and trying not to lose momentum.

Here's a snippet from the intro so far ☺️

#WIP #WritingCommunity #booksky
It was during one of these cold, snowy winters that an outsider rode into the village on a tired old mare, bearing a little bundle close to their chest. They wove through the little village like they had taken the path a dozen times before, their trail being quickly covered by the thickening snow. As they approached the large round hut in the center of the village that served as the main hall, the outsider dismounted the mare, giving her a fond pat and some oats from her satchel. When they had properly fastened her to the hitching post, they pulled the bundle closer before stepping inside. As the door closed behind them, the previously bustling hall went silent as all eyes turned to the newcomer, who paid them no mind as they approached the high table where what few village elders were left were sat. The hall was large in comparison to the small shacks surrounding it, and during the winters tended to be where the villagers spent most of their time. It was adorned with furs, and was brightly lit from the large sunken hearth in the center of the hall. The room was filled with the smell of smoked meats, roasted vegetables and spilled beer, with signs of a recent hunt still smoking over the hearth. But bowls and flagons were left forgotten, as all eyes watched this newcomer approach the table of the Elders like one of them. They placed their slender hand on the table before speaking in a soft, shaky feminine voice, “Elders of the Brook, I have ridden long and far seeking your wisdom and your aid, as those have before me.” As she spoke, the light glinted off the ring on her index finger. It bore a blood red ruby, crowned with flowers of diamond set in sterling silver. The oldest and wisest of the Elders placed his hand over hers, covering the ring from view.

Ugh, did NOT meet my goal tonight. Was only about 200 words short, but I DID break 10k words!

Nearing 10k words on my first real manuscript, the most I've written for a single story in a looooong time. The story is really unfolding as a write, which has always been a struggle for me.

Maybe in the next week or so, I might share some snippets. 👀

Aw. I just found out NaNoWriMo is dead. The first novel I ever completed was a NaNoWriMo baby.

I also just found out they accepted generative AI submissions last year. So… yeah.

NaNoWriMo is dead.

#reedsyNovelSprint looks cool.
