CANDLELIT CHRONICLES: HISTORIC HAUNTS

July 1-2 159 wc

July is JulNoWriMo on WDC, and I am participating. I set my goal at 50K, to complete two novels:


Finding the Abandoned Child, the Environmental Disaster Fantasy begun June 6;


Child-Puppets of The Testament Logging Corporation, Book Three of a series, begun during MarNoWriMo March 23-31.





Yesterday I decided Finding The Abandoned Child was insufficiently disastrous; it began from a dream June 5-6, and in the initial version, everybody in the City survived the apocalypse and only property was damaged (and of course, livelihoods lost). I decided after weeks of sharing and researching and commenting and raving on Facebook about the Big Petroleum Environmental Apocalypse, and since the novel is after all my way of working through my fears, I need to get serious and get down with the Apocalyptic nature of the Disaster. So it's revamp, rewrite, and start anew. And three chapters went down yesterday for a total of 1710 words on a daily goal of 1667.
