Getting prepared

Fantasy fiction. That's all I've got so far.

There will be a dragon who dispenses advice through lyrics of Beatles songs. There may be some guest appearances from characters like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. In fact, my characters might just get really really lost in Disney's version of a fairy tale land. Only the characters in Disney are all actors, and Cinderella is really a bitter and cynical smart mouth, and Sleeping Beauty has had a nose job and is really insecure.

Okay, so maybe I have more than I thought. This was a little spur-of-the-moment, and of course, anything could change at any time during the writing of this masterpiece.

I may really end up writing about twenty-somethings in the city trying to survive outrageous rent and careers in the competitive job market, and in the meantime, having romantic entanglements with one another. Oh yes. That is a story that would sell, don't you think?

NaNoWriMo

Friends, gather 'round, for that that most glorious season is soon upon us: National Novel Writing Month! Linny Jane and I are once more fearlessly diving into it, ready for anything. Armed with laptops, caffeine, and munchies, we will battle our way through the jungle of noveling and conquer the unknown wild.

Stay tuned for progress updates (and the occasional tale of woe).
