April was a Camp NaNo month. I love NaNo events. I seriously just flat-out love them. I don’t know if it’s knowing there are thousands of other people doing the same thing I am or the thrill of watching my number graph inch steadily upward that does it for me, but I tend to be very productive during these events. Basically, whether I hit my goal or not, it’s a win because I’m writing.
What did I work on in April?
– Finished Cursed Wolves (Grimwood #2). This book still needs some TLC because I KNOW there are passages that don’t quite work the way I want them to work, but the first draft is done.
– Finished Operation Dragon (Monstrous Matchmaker #2). These books are pretty straightforward (monster sexin’ with no terribly complex themes), so I don’t anticipate any major rewrites on this one.
– Finished Operation Merman (Monstrous Matchmaker #3). I wasn’t planning on working on this one, to be honest. But a scene got stuck in my head and I decided to fiddle with it once I wrote MM2. The next thing I knew, the book was almost done and I was congratulating myself.
– I wrote a fair chunk on an as-yet-untitled contemporary menage I’ve been working on for… umm, a while. I love the book itself and I really enjoy the characters, but it’s a lot harder to write than any of my others. Still, it’s close to be completed and I am PLEASED with it.
– With two days remaining in the month, I told myself I could play around and write whatever caught my fancy. I needed a break from the menage and I wasn’t quite ready to start the next Stronghold book. I had a scene looping through my head about a girl driving to school with a dead body in the trunk of her car. BOOM. As I write this post up Saturday morning, I’m hoping to have that little gem finished by the end of the weekend. It’s tentatively titled Buried Bodies and it has the aforementioned human girl and a small pack of werewolves. Because I love me some werewolves.
There you have it. I wrote a fair amount in April and I’m terribly pleased with everything I accomplished.
Now, here’s to an equally productive May!
