And now I'm insane....

Well, crazier than usual.

Dear nanorimo, you are a horribly efficient slave driver. Thanks for munching and crunching up all my free time.

BUT 26,000 WORDS! I MAKE PROGRESS. Yes I do...

I'm not technically doing nanorimo right, I started my novel in late Octoberish and will have the first draft of Turpintown done on the 20th of November! Whoowhoo. (me as an excited train) Red and tree jumpers and humming! OH AND POETRY! Much excitement. Muchly.
But no, I didn't really complete a novel in a month, just about. :)

Small excerpt:



There’s an island in the sea
With a cherry red tide
Lots of trees, lots of brush
But no safe place to hide

On those forest covered hills
Rooted in the blood hue soil
There are vicious, joint less monsters
That don’t like you at all

Faces blank as slates
You wish you never saw
Keep your eyes out of their gaze
Or they’ll snap your gaping jaw

The island is their life blood
Their voices, high pitched vowels
Abandon thoughts of mercy
Beware the humming Howls


SNIPPETY SNIPPET! 
84 pages. Longest I've ever written.
