This Month!

Hi, I have had a million thoughts and topics run through my head from my last post, till now... it's sad really. But here we go, a little update on my month to come. What I should do, is at the start of each month, plan, and write my plan here, and then, at end of the month, review it. It could be very interesting to see how I do from month to month!

Anyway, today is the first of November, the day, which for the past two years (this is my third) I have participated in the NANOWRIMO month which is here, and I have managed to get out two great novels from it. Actually, I am finishing up Treasured Land this month too, which was my nano story last year. I only have a few things to tweak, and then, I am sending it off to my beta readers. I am not sure how I am going to manage to get through nano AND finish Treasured Land, but its worth a shot. and hey, I have five children, I should be able to multitask.

So drum roll please.......the story I have chosen to write during nano month is...... A Settlers Love. This name sort of sounds familiar, I hear you saying. Well, that is because it might just be, a little. I need to write the Third Settler Series book. I have been plotting this story for three years now, and quite frankly, I have been too scared to touch it. Reasons...

1. It's a whole new book. Right there is a reason to be scared.
2. It has been playing in my mind for so long now I am scared to touch it.
3. Its about Ashleigh.
4. There are two other books before it that I need incorporate!

So there you go. Number four is probably my crutch at the moment. I constantly remind myself that its not everyone else's story. Payton and Charlie had their moment, William and Eliza had theirs, and now it's time for Ashleigh and Nash. Although, I am not sure they will end up together, that will be up to them. If I remember correctly, there was a Lord whom accompanied Eliza' mother over to Van Dieman's Land at the end of book two. SOOO, Ashleigh might have a play with him for a time. WHO KNOWS!!

This is the exciting part of writing a book, especially during NANO month. Who knows, where your characters are going to take you. I am looking forward to the journey, though.

Anyway, I am off to the markets now.

have a great day, and watch this space.

Make it count, Mel. xx
