Hey Guys!

I made a brand new NaNo account. Join me there if you want to be my writing friend and we can encourage each other to hit our word goals. Mine is 2k a day.

This year I'm doing something a little different. I'll be writing a CYOA type romance novel. It will be interactive and it will eventually be experienced through Amazon Alexa. (So if you have an Echo or a Fire tablet.)

I'm pretty excited! A CYOA has been on my bucket list for a long time and now that there's this extra challenge of making it 'voice' accessible. It's got me fired up!

This CYOA will feature all my friends you meet from my self-portrait. I'm planning to have Mark get sucked into a magical situation that ends up being like The Bachelor where all of these guys in Mark's life are gathered for a television dating show.

And you the readers get to decide who he interacts with and what they talk about. I'm excited! But baby steps first. Hopefully by the end of the month I'll have a fully functional 'First Episode' filled with three group dates and a few solo dates plus a 'choosing ceremony'.

I haven't decided if the show crew members should feature in the story or if I should play it like a you're watching a television show.

It's Just Us Here UPDATE:

I'm taking a break from thinking about this during NaNoWriMo. I will be making a batch of covers for Books 1-3 this month. After Nano, the schedule isn't going to allow for many breaks like this, so I want to refresh my pallet and prepare for 2019! It's almost here! I should have the entire series compiled and flowing nicely by the end of the year.

STATS:

I've read and edited ALL of Book Eight. Still some rough spots.

I've read MOST of Book Nine. Not many rough spots.

I've written HALF (maybe slightly over half, depending on final chapters) of Book Ten. Rough, but I'm so proud of how the end comes together! In fact, I skipped over the front third to get to the most complex section.
