"Venice" by f3rdie - deviantART.com

This is where I dream in front of the computer these days.  My NaNoWriMo novel has taken me to breathtaking places.

But this is the reason I’ve been a bit quiet.  Just plugging along.  I just broke 36,000 words today.  I feel like I was really streaking along there for a bit, but I kind of got gummed up the past few days working out plot tangles.  It’s been worth the slow-down though.  The antagonist, a very seductive Venetian man, has removed his mask and revealed his true self to me, which has, in turn, changed the whole feeling of the book for me, making it just a shade darker.  Me likey.

So I’ve been busy enjoying my characters’ travels.  I’m even dreaming of murky green canals and handcarved teahouses.  I’m determined to finish this book before the end of the month.  I am a woman obsessed!

So off I go!
