10. What are some really weird situations your characters have been in? Holly was attacked by a giant cat with a spiny tail and a distorted version of her own face. This was after she saw the mouse wearing pants run away with a piece of bread in its hands, but before Phooka the Dog […]

2. How many characters do you have? Do you prefer males or females? How many characters do I have? Oh man, I have no idea. Give me a few minutes to count them all up… Sixty-three major characters. This doesn’t include short stories or The Good Man (which can hardly be called a short story),

I also managed to be the Municipal Liaison for the Charleston Region, so not only did I write a novel, but
I am happy to say that I did not come up with anymore NaNo ideas this past week, so I will still be working on Apollo and Daphne in November (as of right this moment, which may change). I’m trying to work different parts of the myths in, including the part about Daphne turning
So, remember last weekend when I said I had found my next NaNo Novel idea? I found two more this week. One is an idea I’ve been cultivating since my first NaNo back in 2005. The main character is a pretty quiet guy, so I ended up writing Lane’s Girl instead, just because I couldn’t
