Wicked Wednesday - prepare yourself for November

October is nearly over. I can't believe how this month has flown by. One week until Halloween. My favorite holiday of the year. A night where the supernaturals don't have to hide, but we wear costumes.

First off, I'm in the middle of my new FEARLESS blog tour. Pop on over to Musings of Ellafor a tantalizing excerpt!

November is near, and I'll be participating in NaNoWriMo again. I was going to stick with my current project, but a new idea pushed itself to the front of the queue. A superhero story. Good guys with big flaws and bad guys with even bigger egos. It's going to be so much fun. Superhero romances - which this one will be - fall in the paranormal romance category. It seems weird to me that they do, but they're more than normal human beings.

I won't forget my current project while I'm doing NaNoWriMo. I hope to finish revising the first novella in the series and have it ready to be out at the end of November. Knock on wood. At the latest, it will be out before Christmas.

For my Wicked Wednesday posts in November, I'll be giving you a peek at each novella in my 13th Floor series. Next week on Halloween, I'll officially let you know what my series is about. (Though I know some of you have a clue!)

Good luck to everyone participating in NaNoWriMo! Add me as a buddy. I'm Kalligenia.

Friday Five for May 25th

1. I've started work on a new project and I'm writing from the male POV. It's slow going. I adore the character, but it's difficult for me to grasp his male voice. I'm telling myself to just push on and get the story out. I can work on the voice when I revise it.

2. In that same story, characters are naming themselves. I had names picked out, but they refused them! Even the city named itself. It baffles me when this happens, but it lets me know this is going to be a great story.

3. I've been keeping up with my goal of writing one short story a month and submitting it. My writer's group liked my latest sci-fi short story. I've revised it and submitted it. I still haven't heard about my Cthulhu short story, but their deadline is July 31st. I might not hear for a while yet.

4. The public pools open tomorrow. I'm excited about it, but at the same time it begins my annual exercise on how to work around not wearing a bathing suit in public. I don't know why people still accuse me of being a vampire. I'm pale, yes, but those are freckles, not sparkles!

5. Sherlock was awesome. The finale of Modern Family was hilarious. I'm finally catching up on Game of Thrones. And True Blood starts in a few weeks!
