The King and Queen Game

This exciting novel, written (rough draft only) in November 2010 during National Novel Writing Month and edited throughout at least half of 2011, is now available online for your reading pleasure.

Day 11 of National Novel Writing Month

Someone has figured out that if you start on day 1 and write only 1667 words per day, you can easily make it to 50K in 30 days.

I am a bit behind, having only 5843 words so far, but even so I should be able to finish in a month if I type a mere 2325 words per day from now on.

It isn't too late. Want to join me? There may be a novel in you--and if there is, it is one that no one else in the world can write.

Novel, The King and Queen Game, is almost finished

This is my 2010 NaNoWriMo novel, and I have "finished" (if such a verb is anything but ludicrous in this context) the major rewrite I've been working on since the end of May. I am considering posting the book in its entirety as a PDF file on this here blog, once I'm relatively satisfied with it (or at least tired of looking at it). I might do it even if no one writes back to beg me to do so, but any begging emails will definitely help lead me in that direction. You never know--your positive criticisms might make the difference between a splendid, inspiring novel and one that is merely mediocre!

This was among my favourites of Chris Baty's pep talks. It's poorly filmed but the message is quite easy to hear and understand.
