Being Peta

Okay....

With the a time management schedual in place to balance my work mum responsibilities without burning out I've commenced my first nanowrimo at the start of the month.  I've been absent from the web ways for quite some time trying to organise RL to free up this month as much as humanly possible for the tast.  All emails will be answered eventually I promise.  (Sorry for being such a rotten snob.)

With the first week drawing to a close I'm pretty pleased with my literary effort.  Over 23,000 words logged so far.  On the other hand, as I'm working off a synopsis, I can already forsee a huge run over of words before this story is finished.  Which isn't such a bad think except that it means more time will be needed to complete it.

Story wise, I'm lovin' getting to play in  an (almost) new sand pit.  This story is based in the Terinu universe but set a centuary into the future and so involves a whole new cast.  I've enjoyed learning about these new characters and seeing how they handle the stauff I'm throwing at them.  Also getting to write a purely word based story of a decent length has been good excercise for my muse.

In keeping with the need to focus on my novel I'm limiting my own line time to almost nothing... it's too big a distraction... until I've atleast hit the 50k mark.

On the other hand, after a prod from kiki, I've decided to go ahead and post this evolving story as I write it to anyone else interested.  I'm opening up another livejournal account as it's the most brain dead way I can think of to do it.  This journal will only be made available by invitation only as I don't want it available to the general publ;ic just yet.  It's going to be raw and choc full of ambiguities, creative use of grammer and spelling errors that would make an eight year old laugh.
