November Writing Madness

Every November, I set myself some kind of writing project. Usually it's the [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and their one short story a day challenge. This year, however, I've gone and signed up for the big one, the NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month, for those who read my journal who don't know what NaNoWriMo is. ;) It is what it says on the tin: for the month of November, I'll be writing a novel. 50,000 words, in fact.

So far, I have 6,519 words in the can. You can find my progress page here (suggestions for a better title for a crime thriller/urban fantasy about a special investigations unit dealing with Fae-related crime would be welcome) and I've included the prologue below.

I might be a bit vague or non-communicative over the next month, but so far, I'm managing my various hats. I may or may not be planning to use my day off on November 11 as a "write all the things" day. ;)

But yeah, that's my thing. I'll let you know how it goes.
