My Nano Month

And here we....go.


It is chaos... A mad dash to write as many words as possible in 30 days, a month of sleepless nights and overworked coffee makers, a fight against writers block and prior committments, and I am doing it. Thats right, folks, its nano time.

Time to introduce a little...anarchy.

Now some of you may be thinking, why would anyone in their right mind do this? Well, I have a little secret for you, I am not in my right mind. I am much too ambitious to be in my right mind. I want this work published and I will do anything, including willingly kick my own ass for 30 days, in order to make that happen.

So, here we go...

Stay tuned for further updates. I have a feeling this blog will see much more action in the next month.

Any Ideas for a new title?

So I have been thinking I need a new title for my novel. I am starting to like "Freelance" less and less. For anyone familiar with the project, any ideas? I kind of want to incorporate something about ghosts in there (Seeing as how Ian is supposed to be dead, and his handler is called Spectre) Hell, I don't know. Any suggestions are welcome.

Nano is almost here!

Hey folks,
So, as mentioned last time, I am writing Freelance as my Nanowrimo novel this year, and I am excited for 2 reasons.
1) because I am finally going to finish it. (Mark my words. It will happen.)
2) and because there is close to a 100% chance it will be published, at least on a small scale (thanks to Jayhawk Ink for the Nano promotion they are holding with J-WoC)

But that means I need your help, my 4 followers.
In order for it to be published, I need to finish editing and rewriting by January. Yes. 1 month after Nano. Crazy, right?

So That is why I am asking you to help me with my newly formed Editing Corps! I have set up a google docs account and will be uploading the novel 1 chapter at a time. If you get a chance, take a look, edit any of the many mistakes, and send me any suggestions you can think of for improvement. The more eyes I get looking at it, the better! I will look at the suggestions and editing it as quickly as I possibly can.

Let me know if you are interested, I will send you a link to the document once it is started.

See you Nov. 1!
