Thank you to everyone who has bought Grease Paint, my debut novella, over the last week. I can't wait to hear what you think. If you haven't had a chance to pick it up yet, I invite you to do so.

Harper Parson stumbles through her 20s, distracted by one unfinished dream after another. She embarks in an ill-fated backpacking trip with her brother and childhood friends into the Thornwoods. A killer stalks those foggy woods.

I said I would do it, and so I did it.

Clocking in at just over 78,000 words, 6,000 of which were written today, the draft of my paranormal horror story Surviving Grace is **done**.

*collapses into a puddle after locking the manuscript away* Now to forget this thing exists for at least a couple of months.

I have now written just shy of 4,000 words today, and I'm still not done. Good christ. Luckily the end is very, very close.

But still, why did I set this deadline for myself? Oh. Right. Because I'm tired of even looking at this story and I need to lock it away.

1750 words so far, and as long as the characters behave, 3 to 4 scenes left to write. This story is getting finished today.

Up to 73,000 words and going.

Major scene I was struggling with in the bag finally. Struggled with this for several hours before it finally clicked. Here's a small from the ending.

The paranormal horror story I worked on during NaNo is now up to 68,000 words. Predicting 70k is when it will be completely wrapped up for the first draft.

Surviving Grace - Old family friends reunite to uncover the secrets of Union Grace hospital, and now the past that destroyed them is threatening to repeat itself. They were just kids the first time, but that doesn't mean they'll do any better now, does it?

Surviving Grace excerpt from today:

No one is paying attention now. The multiple eyes inside this beast which wears the corpse of what was once good broadcast their signals to a system that is incapable of retrieving them. A system hijacked by a brother and sister that are doing all they can to maintain a connection between the Observer and his family trapped within. But still, the camera watches, bears witness to the end.

My favorite line from Surviving Grace so far continues to be:

"I think, cherie, you just bitch-slapped the devil," Jacques told her.

Wrote 837 words in a session before lunch, and just finished another 1246, putting me at just over 2000 for today and I'm not done yet. Really hoping I can pull far enough ahead to have a slack off day before end of month.

Surviving Grace - a paranormal horror story reuniting family friends in a joint effort to put the past to rest.
