We are almost a week into NaNoWriMo and I have just completed the first draft of the first novella ‘Shrapnel From a Broken Smile’ (more novelette at the moment) in my Theatre of Curious Acts and I am so, so reluctant to let that bunch of characters go. Some may reappear in other stories, some may not, who knows how the plan will go – but for now we’ll meet at least two of them again before the final act.
Some authors, such as Katey Taylor, comprise whole soundtracks to go with their stories and characters. Here’s my one and only song inspiration for this novella/novelette/thank god it’s longer than a short story.
Okay, off to get to know the folks inhabiting ‘Paper Dragons’ the second novella.
