November was National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and I took part, and won. I finished writing 50,000 words on 27th November. But I haven’t finished writing the story yet, there is about 5k left to go.

I wrote Hope’s story, Hope is the eldest sister out of Faith, Grace and Hope. She got together with Thor (Thorndon is his real name, but he hates it), and their romance was instantaneous. Then it imploded, and imploded again.

When I write a story, I like to have a general outline of how I want the story to go. This story deviated so far off that general outline, that to be honest, I’ve probably been pantsing most of it, or discovery writing is the new term for it.

Hope and Thor have an interesting relationship, and its grown. I kind of had in mind that Hope would be devastated after a fellow racer is injured and that Thor helps her to find her way. But characters sometimes have a way of hijacking your story. But I have to say, I like where the story is going.

My next mission is to write Grace’s story, and hers is a Second Chance romance. This one will be interesting, because I have already written about Lachlan being involved in her life in this story (because originally Grace was the eldest), and that means that they are already back together. Oh yeah, Spoiler Alert!

I’m taking a break over the Holiday period, because a) I need to find a job and b) I need to work out how I want Grace’s story to go. Hopefully it will come to me, otherwise…eep!
