NANOWRIMO DAY ONE

You know how it is when you're all prepared to spend a month writing 50 000 words of a novel, and you have a cool title and a kinda-sorta-as-much-as-you-ever-have idea of, if not how the whole thing is going to go, well, at least kinda-sorta-as-much-as-you-ever-have how the thing is going to start, right?

And you know how you wake up on day one of the month, knowing you need to write at least 1667 words of this idea today, and back that up tomorrow, and the day after and so on, and the little man who lives at the back of your mind shows up in his coat and hat, carrying a suitcase, and posts a sticky note on the back of your eyes that says simply "Fuck you, buddy, you're on your own."?

Sigh.

Goodbye The Sin-Eater's Lonely Children. Hello Corpse-Rat King: Rising Dead.

I wasn't going to write a sequel. I really wasn't. But, you know, I got me an agent, and I had the idea kicking about, and it escalates really nicely from the first book.....
