NaNoWriMo ’18 result: No win this year… Only 5,871 words on Kerguelen Cat (buuuh!) but on the plus side, a refined outline with clearer plot points (yaaay!), and a better look at several things I’ll need to fix in Dragon Run.
Because writing didn’t stop yesterday.

I’m super happy to say the first draft of “The Dragon Run” is finished! This is part one of a two-book series, with number two “The Kerguelen Cat” now becoming my main focus for the next few weeks, before I start the editing process on TDR.
I’m so pumped. Exciting times ahead! Wheee!
Over yesterday and today, 3,874 more words to “The Dragon Run”, leaving it at 66,700 words and only one chapter left to write before the “to be continued…”
Then, time to get serious outlining part 2 “The Kerguelen Cat” (Guess what plane’s in that one!) while editing season begins for that first part.
Rock on.

“Okay Mister Comfort Zone, get your skinny ass outta here and make way for the mighty North Sea!”
This is the kind of vids I’m looking for as I save for and plan my own adventures. Things have been quiet here, but there’s been development on the personal and professional front, and not as much on the writing front. I’m glad to report the plan to get the boat in two years is going well so far, although I’m uncertain at this point of the kind of budget I’ll be looking at due to increases in expenses that cannot be avoided. With discipline, I should be alright though.
In the meantime, I will be sailing as crew and help with repair on friends’ boats which will teach me very valuable skills for the future.
