What is that I hear? Is it the sound of popping champagne corks?
Half kidding but I am eyeing the bottle of Piper in my refrigerator with a mighty thirst and a trigger-happy finger ready to do some serious bottle uncorking damage.
And for the record it is the only item in the refrigerator until the end of the month - these luxuries do not come cheap you know.
I'm standing at 33,340 words and M-A-N it feels good.
Even though my main character has lost his shine and I find his personality a tad overbearing at times I keep on writing.
Something tells me he's going to end up as shark-bait and the sassy females (as per usual) are going to save the day.
Will keep you posted - darn, another pop.
Either getting my ears checked or borrowing money to purchase a pack of salmon to keep the Piper company. Until the end of November that is...

Novel-ing (ish) - Week 2
Whoopee-doo!
I made the 20,000 word count.
Unbelievable but true.
To put it bluntly my writing is still "craptastic" but you know, hopefully it will improve after the 35,000 word mark.
Don't keep your fingers crossed though.
Tallyho!

Novel-ing (ish) - Week 1
The goal is to write at least 1,666 words a day to stay on track and ensure I reach 50,000 words by the end of November. Kicked of day 1 with a neat deficit of 1,666 words, ended day 1 with a just as neat defict of 1,666 words. This is what happens when one bunny hops to Kuching for the weekend instead of remaining chained to the PC.
Back on track though - suffice to say there was a lot of catching up to do on Monday and Tuesday.
As for the quality of my writing, let's not go there just yet.
Editing concerns (poor editor) are meant to be tackled only after November.
For now it is fairly easy to get into the flow as the story seems to have a life of its own.
I started out with the spice route in Malacca and ended up dabbling in Malay magic and crocodile breeding patterns.
Uhm...and that was in one day!
All fabulous so far, will keep you posted.
Onwards and upwards, always.
