Mmmm, I see roast chestnuts in my future...
On my way to and from the stables I walk through some chestnut woods, and for the past couple of days I have been merrily hunter-gathering. They fought back. I have discovered that those with the spikiest shells often have the best insides ... which is exactly how I like my characters, too. XD
Anyway. Less than 12 hours to go until NaNoWriMo starts ( Read more... ) -

- Write the second sentence on page one hundred
- Write the next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
- Write the final sentence of the book (no, because it ruins it if you haven't read the book before! Plus three ( Read more... ) -
The crack starts here.
So I was packing stuff up earlier, and while doing so I came across a piece of paper torn from a notebook (heyyy ... that's a plot bunny right there). It contains two small excerpts from what I can only assume was the crackiest scene ever - I have absolutely no idea what I had in mind when I jotted these down. But as they feature my Saxen ( Read more... ) -
Character meme: Saxen
Sorry ... started on the meme thing now. A character meme, focusing on Saxen. *shifty look* I do want to write him. But I also think I'll go for the short stories option. Just ... have Saxen as a back-up.
