The Madness Continues

Just when you thought you'd got rid of me for a while, here I am again!  Back from Spain with skin looking a bit browner and hair a little blonder than when I left.  Twelve days without Internet has definitely been a trial but now that I'm back I realise that I sort of enjoyed not having it.

I've not been resting while I've been away.  As of yesterday, I finished my first ever Camp NaNo, writing 50,283 words of my novel, Masque, in a month.  Adrianna has developed far beyond my expectations and my plot has run away with me, quite literally.  Familiar faces, Rowena and Artem, have appeared for a cameo appearance that has been growing longer and longer since I first re-introduced them.  And yet I am so proud of what I have achieved, even though the novel isn't complete, I know that I have the beginnings of something that I will be able to complete.

Now you may think that that one round of Camp NaNo is enough madness for one summer, but clearly my sense of what level of madness is sufficient and how many all night typing sessions I can manage before I collapse knows no bounds.  Not only am I taking part in August's session of Camp NaNo, I am starting with a whole new story, rather than writing another 50K on Masque like the rational side of my brain is telling me to do.  Crazy?  Yeah, I think so too!

And so I introduce to you my Camp NaNo novel for August 2011, When Worlds Collide.  This is the long anticipated sequel (by me at least) to the successful Protagonize collab, A Modern Day Fairytale, that I took part in earlier this year.  My character Nessie, is now a year older and a year wiser and heading off, alone, to university.  I know that people say your university years are the best of your life, but Nessie is going to get a lot more than she bargained for when term starts.

In addition to all this Camp NaNo madness, I will be trying to finish Masque at the same time as well as keeping up with my Protagonize collabs.  I think I must have a death wish!

Wish me luck!
