Okay. So. While I really won't be posting a whole lot of in-depth information about my novel (due to the "I don't want people to steal my hard written words" paranoia.) I wil be giving you a little tid-bit here and there. Such as-
Tid-Bit Number 1: Despite my apparent loathing of overly graphic sex scenes in novels (unless of course it somehow furthers the plot or makes me go 'whoa'), I have written a sex scene. Not graphic mind you, I do like to leave a lot up to the imagination. as a friend once said "porn is great if it's written right." so. thanks to the wonderfully amazing Gen for that. And also to Ariel who helped me reason the need for the scene to begin with. Now, the dilemma, I find myself needing to write a scene that is only inches away from being a sex scene (two in one novel?! no surely not!) in order to further the plot device I have going on right now. It proves to be good. and seeing as I'm dealing with a fairly related sin....oops. Shouldn't have mentioned that but the title of my blog dooooes kinda give it away. Anyway. Moral dilemmas aside, this chapter is proving to be the bane of my existence.
Tid-Bit Number 2: My current word count is 87,000. A far cry above my record of 50,000 (thank you NaNoWriMo.) So, let's pop the bubbly and let forth the party! ...let forth the party. This novel is doing more than eating my soul. It's eating my grammar alive.
Tid-Bit Number 3: I am writing my novel in the first person. And it is set in a lot of different places. Typically, Romania (which...I've read travel books about and spoken to people about and seen pictures but no...sadly I have never been). And an unnamed city which may or may not be New York. I know that city well enough, hell I live fifteen minutes away. Well, abooout fifteen minutes. If you hit no traffic...okay more like forty five in all once you throw in the godawful traffic in all of the tunnels.
Tid-Bit Number 4: I really...really...really...have an obsession with Chuck Norris which is no soubt subject to arise at one point or another. So I am forewarning you lovely readers now.
That's all the tidbits for now I'm afraid! But I do want to point you all in the direction of a REALLY AMAZING writer. Her name is Kat Richardson. And she is currently my favorite modern author, and since I tend to be a genre fiction junkie...she takes the cake. Of course there are many others, but as I'm eagerly awaiting the third book in her 'Greywalker' series I figured I'd mention her. So! all you readers and writers have a fabulous night. Get those word counts going, finish that last chapter and for God's Sake please use a bookmark, dog-earing is so barbaric.
