And so it's Nov the 1st (depending on where you live)

So I've started, this morning as soon as I woke up :) well pretty much. Anyway want to hear it?
(disclaimer: I won't be posting here all the time, and I'm just writing enough to be cruel ;-) )

Down the dark, dank, cobbled streets of London the sister's trudged. They passed a beggar/child with sightless staring eyes and a steaming, feverish brow that had turned his sooty face to a mottled grey. A hat lay beside a wasted arm, there was barely a coin in it, but the sister's ignored his plaintive cries and carried on into the deeper filth of London's East-end.

An icy wind breathed down the narrow street and the sister's drew the tattered shawl they shared tighter    , they increased their pace; today had been pay-day at the factory and they needed to get home quickly before the infamous night dwellers, theives, murderers, whores and drunkards appeared.

On they scuttled quite unaware that one such night-dweller was watching them, stalking their progress.
Tonight there'd be murder done.

So how 'bout that? do you think it will do? Please comment, I adore your advice.

( OH and I'll probably post most of the story over at where words are woven my other blog (yes I have two, one just for writing, feel free to read the other storys)

I'm embarking on a great adventure...

I've entered the...

                                        NaNoWriMo Young Writers Program! 

I know...writing a novel...in one month...sounds BIG. Like, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY big
  
And exciting! And scary! but mostly exciting! So what am I gonna write about? Well you'll probably just have to wait and see!  Cruel aren't I? I suppose I could tell you a little....
It will be historical fiction taking place in NZ - but that's all for now :D

I think I will. But I really need your prayers. I'm stepping on new ground here. Thank you for praying, and I hope you understand if I don't post very much (though I can't say as I post all that much anyways. : / ) in the next month! And hey, maybe you'll join me? I love having friends writing with me, even if we're writing different things! -The more the merrier!

P.S. I'd love to know what you think of my adventure in doing this crazy thing called writing a novel in thirty days! Have any thoughts on the subject? Any tips? Comment below; and thanks a lot!
