I've done 1574 over the last few days. It's snowing like crazy and we might have a snow day tomorrow, get some writing in and finish this beast.

Loving this scene since it's heavyloaded with key points and what I hope will be some decent red herrings (and Mr. Bad Guy enters the scene and he's creepy as heck - which is even better) :) 519 more words for me, currently at around 5300 total for Path of Blood.

My goal is 100,000, so you can imagine how excited I am to almost have this done! :D Thinking back, when did I start this? My first post on WABWM was on July 23, and I'd already been writing and following this for about a week. So I've been writing for...3 1/2 months I guess? Wow...I think I will definitely be done by the deadline I've set for myself: Christmas. Anyway, the changes Ryan has gone through during his captivity are more obvious than ever now, since he actually risked his life to protect his "family" from invaders. To think that he once called these creatures monsters...he has found friendship and love in a place of darkness. He as yet to fully realize exactly how strong these ties are, but he'll find out soon when he's forced to make a choice.

True creativity springs from the following edge of chaos, and you proved that. Not to encourage you in self-abuse! Out of that course springs a new poetry book project just started this week (I know! I Know! It was supposed to be a novel-writing course!) called "Giantess." And the Giantess is...you guessed it my Muse, who now want a book all about her. Looks like she's going to get it. You have created the conditions of insane time crunch/creativity for yourself. If you want to change them--talk to your Muse. Trust me--this works! Sandy Holly,

I just hope that it goes smoothy - without a hitch - and his recovery is as quick as it can be :) I'm getting ready to start writing. Will write the first couple of scenes today - I've been fighting with wanting to do NaNoWriMo and have finally decided that if I write this novel Nano-style, I'm going to really screw it up moreso that I will if I just take my time and write it. I'll let you know how things go. Take care of yourself and your family :) Holly, I am definitely glad to hear that your brother-in-law is going to get the surgery he needs.

I am in the middle of a transition which tends to be hard for me. Add to that the drama of a codependant mother and sister during the middle of a memorial, life tends to be a bit distracting. The good news from that is I am getting a ton of words in my journal. Last night, over 1000 words in frustration. Holly, my heart goes out to you, your family, and your brother-in-law. I pray for good news on Thursday. Today, I finally started working a little on the novel. I am in the middle of a transition which tends to be hard for me.

And best of luck to your BIL tomorrow! :) 803 for me. I like how the description of the chase came out, liked it even better when they get away, pull up to the train station and Cait's mom beats James with her shoe for his driving tactics! lol. So now mom is safely on her way home, out of the city, and as James turns around all confident and cocky that he got away, he's faced with three special tazers launching at his chest. Last word of the scene: Crap! So 2/6 complete in the chase scenes series. I'm flipping back and forth betweeen Cait and James' POV. Leaving cliff hangers in each scene, and loving the effect it has on me - want to keep going/ can't wait to get back to it! Gotta love a satisfying action sequence!
