The 25,000 + word mark

I'm taking a break from my marathon writing day to try and write something for this blog.

Even at 25,000+ words, I'm still behind the mark in the NaNoWriMo contest. I'm a little scared to look back and see what I have written. The outline and notes I started with no longer make sense and the story has already twisted itself inside and out and is heading a different direction than I planned. I guess that means that I have no idea where the story is heading.

My plan is the spend the rest of the weekend, minus the time I plan to spend online tomorrow talking about Dave White's new book WHEN ONE MAN DIES at Detect Today.

Also, If I haven't bored the blogsphere with this so far, I opened a new fiction site called Darkest Before the Dawn http://darknessbefore.blogspot.com/

OK, so now I'm off to the airport to send one by kids to New York on the redeye to celebrate Thanksgiving with relatives. No, I'm not going, but that is another post, well, maybe.

Cross Posting Danger Ahead.......

for an important message.......

Greetings all.Over the past year I have recieved many submissions that were longer than the guideline for my flash fiction site - Powder Burn Flash.

So, after much thought I decided to open an additional venue for writers wishing to explore their stories more indepth. Tonight I have opened Darkest Before the Dawn. This site is open to short story submissions up 10,000 words in length.
