Technically I'm cheating a bit because the novel I'm writing is going to have the first two chapters done before November due to needing them for an assignment for my advanced fiction class, but I'm throwing my hat in with that novel because holy poo poo I need to start making serious progress on it.

1,200 words done for day one! Already doing better than last year. My novel is a story of a high fantasy arch-typical hero and a modernized fantasy world where a disenfranchised youth discovers the hero's journal and starts being able to perform the magic done by the hero as she reads through the journal.

Wrote a very good bit between my present day protag and her best friend and learned a fair bit about both characters and how they play off each other. It's starting to feel like the makings of an adventuring party, which is a great parallel to the high fantasy part of the story in the past. It's a bit short, but it's a start!

Write now, edit later. Nice title, by the way.

I second both of these sentiments.

My title (A Gambler's Tale) is still a holdover from when my high fantasy protagonist was the main character and had an entirely different magical affinity. I know I need to change it but I have no idea to what. I mean I should probably worry about it after I have it written but ya know.

Left my laptop at home today. Looks like I'm gonna have to wait until I get home from work and totally not want to write or write during my lunch break. Kind of thinking the latter.
