In two days I am starting NaNoWriMo. National novel writing month is sponsored by a fabulous organization called the Office of Letters and Light. I love NaNo. The rules are simple. On Nov. 1 you begin from scratch to write at least 50k words in the month. I usually write more. I am mean to myself like that, lol. This year i will tackle the first Sam book. Yup that lovely post-apocalyptic paranormal crime series is coming out of my imagination and meeting paper. I decided today to switch to a different case. The crime Sam (Samantha Jackson) will be solving is the case of 3 missing girls from a single community. In a world where families are pretty paranoid about safety and where children are even more precious than ever this is a pretty big deal so using the fact that she can shift shape into any animal she chooses and use their senses plus the fact she has a photographic memory means we have a smart cookie. Her background has been rough and very few know of the paranormal aspect to her so hiding that is big for her. her partner is human and has no idea so that adds a layer. I am excited to dig in.
On to Submitting. I think I am going to take the plunge tomorrow and write up a submission letter for the romance books. My RWA chapter-mates said to go ahead and submit. if I sign just make sure i retain the rights to submit other genres elsewhere and such in the contract. So that is my plan. Wish me luck!!
