- This is just a quick note to report on the progress of my Nanowrimo novel for the year, "Heart of a Dragon." I've been working on it for three days now, and have just passed the ten thousand word point. It's a good start. I always suggest that people binge write at the beginning to get a buffer zone built up for the days when writing just isn't possible. As usual I have set up a ...

- My characters are in a sea battle (on a minor scale - longboats vs. fishing boats) and from one of the boats a shot is fired by a "huckbuk" (there are various spellings). This is (more or less) a prototype of a rifle, though it has no stock. The 'huck' is a hook which is used to support the weapon and reduce recoil. I have to describe this without becoming a teacher.

- NaNoWriMo starts in just 3 short days. NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month and the objective is to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. No editing required just let your creative juices flow and see where it goes. Also, no prizes just the satisfaction that you wrote a novel. I look forward to the crazy, mad dash to finish and will be taking my first stab at Nano this year. Wish me ...
