NaNoWriMo 2021

Note, this is not the final cover or title!

IT’S OFFICIAL… PROJECT ELEMENTALS HAS BEGUN!

As I’m also an urban fantasy author, it’s time to work on something other than steampunk!

It’s also because I’m a Pantser and I don’t know where Captain Keenan’s next adventures will take him yet.

If you’ve been around my blog for a while, you’ll recognize Project Elementals as my NaNo 2011 project that I started editing for publication but shelved in favor of The Techno Mage.

It was just so complicated because I hadn’t finished writing it when I got writer’s block and opted to work on a different project halfway through NaNoWriMo. I wrote part two during NaNo 2013, then tried to connect the two during NaNo 2017, but there were still lots of problems, which is why I ended up shelving it for publication.

Recently, with help from my coach, we were able to brainstorm ideas to fill in the gaps, and so far, so good. So NaNo 2021 is a rewrite of Project Elementals. Now that I’ve learned a lot and have improved my writing since The Techno Mage and Rise of the Sky Pirate, it’s a HUGE rewrite, but it’s going to be so worth it in the end.

It’s looking like Project Elementals is going to be a trilogy. It’s Sailor Moon meets Avatar the Last Airbender, and I can’t wait to finally get it in working order for you to read!

I’m taking it easy this NaNo. My goal is 50k words total for the month, but if I manage to get more in, then all the better.

I’ll keep you updated! I can’t wait to share more about Project Elementals with you!
