Heir To Magic

I keep telling myself to get back to work on this story, but every time I think about needing to work on it I am busy with something else that is currently paying me to work on it instead.  Right now it is a couple of advertisements I am working on for people and some transcription work that I have been given.  The transcription is cool, it is something I have considered more than a few times, so getting the chance to work on a transcription project is really nice.  I’m thinking about adding that to my list of stuff I do, but might hold off and see how I feel about it after I finish with this project.

For now, Heir to Magic is on pause, still, while I try to get through the holidays and into the new year.  I’ll revisit it when I am working on my new year’s resolutions.

I am trying to decide if I would be completely insane to participate in NaNoWriMo this year.  I want to participate, but I also have a lot of other things that I have to do.  I know I write enough to qualify for winning NaNoWriMo ten times over in a month, but to focus all of that onto a single novel…. :::cringe:: I already have a novel in the works.

Now, there is some kind of deal I had seen that let you work on a current novel during that time, but I forget what it was called or where I saw it.  I like the challenge of a new story myself, so I might just go along with my scheme to start book 2 of Heir - rather or not I finish the rough draft of book one by then or not.  I know where book 1 ends, so I could easily start book 2, I just have to decide if I want to do that or not.

I am afraid that my goal to complete the rough draft of the first novel in the Heir to Magic trilogy by the end of this month is going to fail.  I’m not going to give up yet, since there are still 20 days left in the month and I know what is supposed to be happening in the story - I just have to get the time set aside to get it entered into the computer.

Dratted muse seems to have decided that it wants to play in the snow rather than help me get my book written.  Dratted thing, I need to catch it and coax it back to work.  Hopefully I can get that done later on this week before the weekend hits, right now it seems like every time I have a chance to write, I have to be doing something else.

I need to get some more work done on the novel, it’s been a few days since I got the chance to add to the word count and the scene I am working on is a definate fighter that does not want to be written, so I have to stick with it and push through to the other side.  There are going to be some very fun scenes following this one, I just have to get past this one and get to them.  I might cheat, though, and leave notes on how this one plays out and move on - deal with this scene in the first revision.
