Lex. Icon. Devil.
I
don't do NaNo because it doesn't really fit my mindset. That thing I sent you (yes, that's the book) was the first thing I wrote in about five years. The muse just wasn't there. I suppose I could have tried to find something to write about, and then tried to crank it out before November ended ...but why? Writing is a pleasurable hobby for me, not a job. And when there's no story in me, I see little point in trying to manufacture one. When the muse visits, it's the exact opposite - I can't NOT write. Sometimes I've got three stories in me dying to get out, and other times I have zero. And when it's the latter, I'll just let things bounce around in my brain until I can't not write again.
And appreciate the offer but this is a solo gig, I think. It's neither grammatical nor plot-driven (although finding minor issues there). It's just "punching it up". Making the character come alive more, making the basic narrative leaner and meaner to read. Dull but it IS sounding better on the other side.
