End of November

The month is just about over. When it ends, I intend switching back to mainly working on the western novel and adding to the NaNo project story in the times I get stuck on the first story.

In the NaNo story I have a preteen girl, Gwenn, whose father wrote a book. Being also a scientist, he and his team created the world within his book, in a separate dimension, and a portal to visit there. Gwenn's mother and father disappear in there. Gwenn has no knowledge the project exists, until she has to break into her own house and discovers her parents' secret. Once she enters this world, she learns that inhabitants are wise to her Dad's work and have launched their own project to break open the barrier separating the two worlds. I have written well beyond this point, but you can perhaps see what it is leading to.

NaNo Word Count

My word count is far below the pace NaNo sets for a writer. My justification is, I want the words I write to count. Just forcing it along for the sake of filling pages is in my view doing myself and potential readers a disservice. What the contest did for me was cause me to get it moving along and for that reason I am a winner already. 

Tox World - new title

When I started my NaNo project I just had a thought about a nearly teen girl, whose mother mysteriously disappeared and then she was informed her father had just died. I began with an aim of solving what she suspected were murders. Following her activities for a time lead to a set of circumstances that transformed it into science fiction.
