NaNoWriMo 2023
I have always wanted to post during NaNoWriMo, but I have never gotten around to it. This is my first post like that, at least that I can remember, and for all I know I won’t post again until it’s over.
But giving it a shot regardless.
The next Virgil McDane book has been in progress, in one way or another (or another, or even another) since 2020. I have taken it in multiple different directions since then but something clicked in the past month and I have a much clearer idea of what I’m doing.
More than that, I’m actually progressing with it.
For the month of Oct, I have written 39,435 words. On top of the roughly 50k words I already have, that gives me a very solid start. It’s not 90k words, even if it’s what it adds up to, a lot of that repeats and replaces other things I already had, but I’m very happy with the direction.
I will spend the rest of Nov working toward having a solid first draft of Tangled Weave that I can then put out in early 2024.
That’s where we are. Going to keep writing and see if I decided to actually make progress reports as we go.
