Questing

Dreaming the Impossible Dream since 1997

Tribute Waters Synopsis

November30

Alyssa Rendeva is desperate to find a new job to clear her name of her past piratical deeds when she is offered the Captaincy of the latest Tribute voyage. Survive the voyage, claim the prize of owning the ship, and clear her name.

Should be an easy enough task, until she learns her crew is blind, her passengers may be sacrifices, and oh yeah, the lady with the steel muzzle veil… is a manipulative siren, out to take over the ship.

Her first mate, Elion the Wavesighter, seems like he might be of some use, even if he also appears to have a hidden agenda.

Is there any sanity left on the high seas?

Triumph

November30

First off!
Yes! I have finished the Nanowrimo challenge, late last night! Note new userpic! I’m sitting at around 50,352 words, with still a few hours left if I want to add some things in. I’ll post some more stats for you later, but it only took me 46.5 hours this year vs the ~64 hours it took me last year. I find that very interesting.

Yay! I have now, written the first rough draft of my second novel. It needs lots and lots of things, world building, character building, a completely reworked outline, but it exists, starts and ends, and things happen in the middle.

We’re having a Thank god it’s over party on Saturday, must get that all set, but it should be fun, too.

Secondly!!!!
A Song For Evan is an Elfwood Mod’s Choice! That means it’s featured on the main page all day!
http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/elfwood.pike
It also gets a special star and icon in my Elfwood Gallery forever! WOO! My first mod’s choice! I’ve been on elfwood for a long time, (and really never produced much that could even have a chance until now) but it’s so cool to finally have one, on a piece I’m proud of too.

Forward Push

Wow, last night just plain rocked.
I got to see my mom and dad for dinner, mom made this awesome eggplant parmesan and we watched Clean Sweep on tv, and then checked out her digital pictures from their vacation.

Then, I headed out to Muddy Waters and had a great nanowrimo writing night, not only did around 7 people show up to pound on their novels, I personally was motivated to write, and got almost 3000 words done! Also, had very good coffee and juice, and conversations with loverly writing people. OCR wrote 6000 words!

Realized I’ve known Eric and Jane now for a whole year, and also that I’ve known Heather for 3! It was interesting to be sitting in the same cafe, with the same people working on the same project, just at a later time.

Plus, happily my muse was concentrating, and I don’t feel like the words in chapter 6 last night were all that bad, so my infernal critic had to just be quiet and sit in the corner.

I was up too late though, I went home for a nap over lunch. Good day at work too, lots of things getting done.

Excited about tonight. Hope to get to 20k on the novel, and finish ’s commission. And my husband is home! He’s been working away from here all week. :(
