So, I have decided to do NaNo again this year. My last effort Death By Dreaming turned out pretty well so let's see with this one.

Thanks to Maria for forcing me to wait for two days before starting even though my head was bursting with ideas, so I started on November 1st like a good girl.

So. I have the whole thing planned out... as much as I ever do, although I doubt that I will be sticking to it; I never do.

The characters are pretty wild this time and there's a lot of action, Some of the character are

Darcy a 1000 year old vampire

Skye a 'human'? with pink and blue hair he wears in a long thick plait. Darcy thinks he dyes it.

Raven, a shapeshifter who changes into a... crow (delusions of grandeur)

Nexus, a shapeshifter who changes into a snake

There is also a squirrel who throws nuts.

Darcy unwittingly gets caught up in a war between two sets of creatures he had no idea even existed and has to fight to bring the rest of the vampire world into a war that they show very little interest in because they are unlikely to get any real benefit out.

Darcy has to mesh together armies of vampires, shapeshifters (weres), fey and assorted rag tags (of exactly the right kind to drive vampires insane with frustration). He also has to hold it together enough to head a daring mission to rescue his captured love... oops, sorry... I meant the person he most certainly doesn't love, before he becomes one of the first casulaties of the war.

So far it is day 9 and I have 23,379 words.

According to the stats, if I write 1400 words a day I will finish on 18th November so I have a bit of leeway there.

So anyway, I see that others are competing and blogging (and yeah, of course I copied your ides about blogging it, Lugh ) but I would like to remind everyone that the only thing we are competing against is ourselves. This is not a competition of who writes the most words or finishes first.

Just as well eh? Coz I know I would win
