NaNoWriMoNO
Oct. 19th, 2021 07:16 pmAfter a lot of thought, I'm not doing NaNoWriMo this year. The whole eye saga has cut into my ability to do my research and plotting, there may be more appointments coming down the road that could make things much worse, and I'm going back to work on the same day the writing starts.
Not the best way to handle this. So I'm opting out. Apex will wait a year while I get everything set up, characters set, all three sections absolutely mapped out both in location and action (and I'm going for Tim Powers levels of 'OMG, I've BEEN there!'), and can start writing with confidence on Day One, 2022.
The way the Giants season ended also is a factor.
But, to get an early start, the book is about a world where vampires are solitary apex predators and concerns the vampire who has taken San Francisco as his hunting territory since 1945 finding himself being hunted by another vampire. It's mostly suspense. I'm using Apex as the working title as it describes where the vampires sit, but can you think of another title?
