#NovelEmber Progress and #WorldEmber Prep

I've been a bit quieter than usual this November, because I have been working on #NovelEmber, but as we're just over halfway through the month I thought I'd do a little update.
 

WorldEmber Prep

I've really been enjoying the WorldEmber prep. It's that strange thing where I find myself getting inspired but also trying to save up all of my ideas to start writing them in December. (It's one of the reasons I haven't written my latest entry for #TheLongestJourney yet). Really can't wait to start!

NovelEmber

I've written almost 30k words for my new book which is set in The Wilds (see World Block below). I know a lot of those words are going to change when it comes to re-reading and editing and so on, but it feels good to get the words out and to start connecting to these new characters I haven't met before!

And the #Mystember winners are...

A massive thank you and well done to everyone who entered #Mystember, the #unofficialchallenge that I ran throughout September. There was such a wide range of entries it was too hard to choose just one winner (and I even picked some special mentions as well). So here they are...

I've created a new world!

Introducing Solace...
  Welcome to my Science Fantasy world. I'm using it to write a novel, with themes around cults and magic. It's not fully formed yet by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a start.

Wild #unofficialchallenge Appeared!

And not just one! I am really looking forward to September this year; not only because I am running #Mystember, but also because of the other unmissable #unofficialchallenge is #Thelongestjourney which the very talented Tyrdal is running.

Unofficial challenges are on the horizon...

September is fast approaching and there are some great #unofficialchallenges coming up. Yes, I'm biased, because one of them is mine, but I want to start by shouting about Tyrdal's #Thelongestjourney challenge. It's going to be an epic episodic adventure and I truly cannot wait.
