NaNoWriMo – Day 16

Man.  Some days are harder than others.  Chapter 8 is done.

I am a bundle of steroid induced emotions today, spawned by a several large and small things.

  • A friend that is in trouble that I will help bail out of it in several ways.
  • I heard Christian Kane's cover of "Fast Car" and was reminded of some really rough days in my past.
  • I had to write a rough chapter, about the aftermath of a character death.
  • Some work folks had some rough things happen to them, and I listened to it.

And then, I watched Dragon Age Redemption, a web series by Felicia Day, to cheer me up.  It was a sad affair, with a mixed emotional ending.  It was absolutely brilliant.

She had this great final quote, that I wanted to use as my quote for Chapter 9: The Long Road.  I figured I shouldn't without asking.  So, I complimented her series and the quote on Twitter.  And she replied!

She said she liked it also.  I asked if I could use it. And she said that I could.  So, I have had my first conversation with Felicia Day.  Now I am going to write like the wind. Maybe someday, she'll read my novel.  One can hope.

Anyway, fanboy moment over.  Here is Chapter 8 and I am off to Chapter 9.
