This year, I decided to try NaNoWriMo again. I gained a bunch of writing buddies who are actually writing buddies this year. We are all part of a group on LiveJournal and reading their frustrations and such help to make my attempt at writing better.

Instead of just falling off sharply after the first week, I hit a stumbling block by having brain-twisting classes to attend on Tues and Thurs each week. Japanese is a fun language to learn, but without time it can be frustrating and exhausting. Despite this setback, I didn't lose interest in writing, it merely slows me down.

I was able to some something fun this time around, I sketched out a cover for the book. I will have to digitally work on it at some time or draw it into a larger drawing book, but in the meantime my sketch is available to see in my scraps:
EDIT: Added some color Art!

Lady Mathilde Gabriel's Abaddonian Knights was supposed to be one type of story... but what I have written so far seems to be something entirely different. True, Mattie does visit Abaddon and her daemon lord benefactor, and yes, he does send her on a mission... but she isn't going to the lands I thought they would be heading.

Regardless of anything else, this story is definitely filled with metafiction because that is the kind of fantasy geek fiction I like to read.
