Treasured Land

For the years 2012 and 2013 I participated in NANOWRIMO. And boy it is fun, challenging and just plain crazy!! Anyway, for the year 2012 I managed to meet the 50k word deadline, just in time to become a nano winner (completing a 50 thousand word story in the month of November) That story is called Desert Wondering. Desert Wondering was much longer than 50 thousand words and I finished it just after Christmas that same year. In 2013 I entered that story into the watty awards and it made it to the finals. unfortunately it didn't win, but hey! I can't believe it made it to the finals so that was a sure bonus.

Anyway, in 2013 I started this story, Treasured Land, and I'm sad to say that it has taken me much, much longer to write it. Not because I was stuck, on the contrary. This story to me is like a puzzle more so then the others, because all the pieces have to fit. And truth be known, It intimidated me for the longest time. BUT as always I push through that barrier and I am happy to announce, I have the writing bug back. I will be consistently uploading this story until it's done. I would like to publish this story this year ready for our Aussie summer, so it has to be done.

I add a lot of content and take a lot out when I polish these stories, and just to warn you, unlike A Friendships Love that was formally published on 26th of August 2013, I will be taking the rough draft of Treasured Land down from wattpad. BOOO HISSSS. It has to be done. I will be giving the world The Settler Series, to be forever available on wattpad, AND ALL my rough copies of everything I write. Bar maybe one or two that I will surprise the world with ;) Anyway, that's a long way off. and for right now, please go ahead and enjoy the first draft of, Treasured Land!
