I'd Rather Be Writing, An intro.

Welcome to I'd Rather be Writing. This blog is about..yada yada yada...who cares I'd rather be writing.

Its NANOWRIMO...I am participating for the 5th year. I am way ahead and loving it.

What am I writing about? Well i could tell you but...well with out reading the book I think you'd be bored. Its high fantasy of the highest epic level. To even introduce a character I would need to explain too much. That is more than most of you will want to read in this blog post. SO...instead ill give you a little taste.

The catch line for the entire series would be "The Child With out A Name is both the salvation and the destruction for her people, will she chose the right path, or doom them all?" That would be the most basic, generic tagline...basically gives you the idea of the story.

There are two complete books, 9 planned books, and no editing in the lot of em...no publishing prospects or even agent inquiries. Yea...so thats whats doing for Nano...100 thousand words of garbage and gibberish.

The setting is a distant universe with 5 inhabited planets. The main character is a severely abused child in the beginning. and grows to be just what a severely abused child grows to be...a mess. As you can imagine she grows over the course of the 9 planned books with misadventures and antics all along the way. Most of these are very action packed life or death situations...I mean come on its high fantasy. Always in the wrong place at the wrong time, the MC has a guilt complex and always takes on the weight of the world. Unfortunately I relate too much to this character.

These books are erotic fiction...GASP yes My MC is unfortunately what amounts to a fertility deity...so she does the nasty...A lot. I enjoy writing erotic high fantasy because I believe everybody f*%#$...just like everybody poops...I suppose in that way I am a bit too into realism for my own good.

Today is day 6 of NaNoWriMo, I have 0 words written today and a whole 31,000 total. I had a 10k Day yesterday and am not feeling that in my cards for today. In fact, I am not sure I will write anything today. 10,000 words in one day tends to weigh on a girl.

The Dreaming is the present working title...Probably will not stay that way as I haven't even TOUCHEd on the premise of the dreaming...at all. course that gives me yet another book to write...egads...is that really a ten book series?

I am a full time writer, of course that would sound more impressive if I had any published works, at present I do not. I also run a small business and manage the incredibly demanding schedule of a competition level youth softball player. She is my 12 year old daughter, we will call her "Smiley". Also I am homemaker, housekeeper, cook and all around do everything gal.

That'll do for this post I think, I will post nano goals and triumphs daily. Word counts and other such fun things will also be posted daily.
