    Sort of keeping pace here, only a day behind at 1132 words this update and 5139 total. Left lying in the dirt and dust right in their path was a body. Katherine only needed one guess to know who it was. “Well now,” she mused as she brought her horse to a stop and hopped…

    Having not written anything yesterday I struggled a bit to make up for lost time. Didn’t quite make it – only 1509 words this go round. Not bad though, only a hundred or so off quota.   The sun was going down. In the Badlands it seemed to do that faster than just about anywhere…

    So hey! I finally got some characters worked up for my nanowrimo project. Names are still up in the air, but the basic characters should stay more or less the same.

    There are two things I still need to hash out before NaNoWriMo. Well, probably more than that, but there are two on my mind just now. One is a plot map. Normally I’m a seat of the pants writer, making things up as I go along with only a vague idea of a plot until it’s…

    So I’ve been thinking more about the setting for my currently untitled Fantasy Western. In order to get the sort of “wild west” setting I’m wanting to do you have to have a place where a relatively developed people are only just settling in. If this is taking place on a continent where people evolved…
