NaNoWriMo Day #2



As you can see, I am making significant progress on this second day of NaNoWriMo.  First, I would like to thank everyone for their patience.  Two years ago on October 3, 2016, my father passed away from advanced stage colon cancer.  He defeated cancer once before, but this time, it reared its ugly head aggressively and quickly.  There was no time to fight.  Afterward, I tried to keep up with my writing, but I found my thoughts highly unorganized and unable to flow properly for a story. 

Now, that I've had proper time to get back on solid ground, I have two novels on which I am working.  The first is my NaNoWriMo project titled, tentatively, 'Love, Lies, and Funeral Ties.'  Over the coming weeks, I will post snippets from it.  Please understand that all of the posts I make are protected by copyrights and intellectual rights laws. 

The second will be a tribute to my father, though not entirely based in fact, will be loosely based on his life.  The thought behind it is the question of what happens to a soul once it departs from the body.  This has nothing to do with any religious question, but are we as humans able to see our lives from a new perspective, to revisit everything that has happened and all that we have loved, in order to understand where we went wrong or right so that we can truly make peace.  

So, as I blog about this year's NaNoWriMo and my future novels, I hope you will sit with me from time to time and let me hear from  you.

NaNoWriMo Day 7

Day 7 is really a 2 day combination.  Yesterday, November 6th, was voting day for midterms.  I voted, of course.  However, I work overnights, so my shift began on the 6th and didn't end until the 7th.  That's how I end up having to combine days.   I'm now at 18,686 words.  I'm hoping to hit the 25k mark very soon.  I realize this post is short, but there isn't much to divulge here.  I have my hands in a few projects, some legacy type projects, but I'm trying to NaNo.  I hope you'll forgive me for the shortness of this post.  Once NaNo is over with, I will be announcing a contest.  I hope you'll participate. Love you all and see you soon!!

NaNoWriMo Day #9

I just completed 19,545 words overall on my NaNo Project.  I'm quite pleased and cannot wait to get through at least the first round of edits so that I can begin looking for beta readers!!!  I'm hoping to try to get this in front of a traditional publisher, but I will most likely get impatient and do it myself.  I already have a book cover design for it.  Who knows?

So, today is the fifth day of NaNoWriMo.  I have over 13k words thus far.  So, I'm going to insert into this post a section from the story.  I don't mind feedback or constructive criticism.  With that said, I must insert the legal disclaimers here:  This work is a work of fiction.  Any similarity to real individuals and places is purely coincidental.   (c) Unpublished Work.   2018 SC Hutchinson.  All Rights Reserved.
