NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. This takes place in November. Well, fair enough. In Britain it’s too cold to do much else. This time last year I was just about to embark on my first novella, Ravenfold, which I began on the last day of October. By the last week in November I’d finished the first draft. I felt sure it wouldn’t run to novel length so I didn’t sign up to the site but kept my own word count throughout the month. This time I thought I’d do it properly. When you join the site you find authors you know who are prepared to be your writing buddies. I think that means they will happily poke you from the side-lines if you flag!
I have an idea – the germ of a story. As usual with me, it’s a genre I’ve not written in before, although I’ve always enjoyed reading it. This will be Kath’s First Fantasy Novel. I tend to think of it as Fantasy-Lite because there are no orcs, elves, giants or monumental battles.
It takes place in an imagined country, somewhere in the region of Scandinavia. And mystical things happen.
The novel starts here…
