WOW what an intense week of writing. I have hit (as of Saturday November 7th) 19k in my WIP. I started NaNo my Urban Fantasy was sitting at about 23k and now it is at 41k. I am immensley happy. I’m also happy it still seems to be flowing. I mean it’s a first draft so I know I’ll be going back over to make sure her internal conflict is layered through the story. It’s a first person POV so I only have to worry about her GMC etc.

I also have to make sure I tie up loose ends, because the UF is taking me places I never thought it would. Yet, each piece fits into the puzzle and the mystery. Or at least I hope it does. I think it’s my strongest first draft, and as much as I want to go back and edit if I do I will lose my flow. I hope to have NaNo finished before the end of the month, and I hope my WIP will be at 80k, the minimum of the line I am targeting.

As I write on I realize my book has a very strong tie to the book of Revelations. WTH? Where did that come from? Maybe it was all those years I had to listen to cr*p from a crack pot who didn’t really practiced what he preached. Anyways I’m boning up on my Revelations and writing like the devil himself! I’ll try sometime this week to post a bit about my characters. They constantly take up my time and my energy nattering at me. I haven’t been this focused on one book in a long time.

How are all my NaNoers doing out there?
