Lightening Online

Some time ago (sadly, years ago as it turns out) I participated in Nanowrimo.  For those not familiar with Nanowrimo, it stands for National Novel Writing Month.  The idea is that participants churn out a 50,000 word (or longer) novel during the month of November.  I did it a couple of years in a row and haven’t participated since.

At the time of my last participation, some of my readers asked if I was going to publish the novel I wrote somewhere online.  I thought it sounded like a nice idea.  I just wanted to edit it a little first.

Hmmmm…..

Still haven’t edited it.  I’ve given up on that idea.  So, bravely or stupidly, I have started a Fiction Blog where I am planning on publishing the novel, one chapter at a time.  Who knows, I might even do a bit of editing as I go (or not, we’ll see).

Here’s a little taster:

Tiny droplets of water trickled down the window. As the sun tentatively broke through the clouds, it lit up the droplets like sparkling diamonds. The weather seemed to do strange things lately. It was hard to know from one day to the next what to expect. Showers of rain during November were unheard of once upon a time. Now it seemed best to expect the unexpected.

Kaitlyn stretched out her legs in an effort to make herself more comfortable. It had only been 5 hours and yet she felt like she had been on this bus for a lifetime. Outside the scenery remained unchanged. Small scrub-like bushes with a slight blue tinge to them dotted the landscape for as far as she could see. How anyone would choose to live in such a barren place was beyond her.

If you want to read the rest of the chapter, you can do so at Comfort Zone Fiction.
