To be fair, I did say the first chapter wouldn't be up long. To everyone who had the opportunity to read it, my thanks.
I want to give a shout out to my #WIPFTW buddies on Twitter. This wonderful group of writers came up with the idea, for those of us who needed a kick in the pants, to finish our work-in-progresses by November 1st.
I started Djinni in April, right after I finished Juju's Child. The main character Cairo has undergone quite a metamorphosis since the first chapter. She's matured from a slightly egocentric, spoiled brat into a layered and thoughtful character.
As I enter the final chapters of the manuscript, I'm quivering with excitement. I have no idea what's going to happen next. I have some idea, but this story tends to go off outline in pretty surprising ways. Luckily, I've always enjoyed the direction Cairo decides to go in.
I hope her character survives. Not everyone will (sorry Sarah, don't kill me)

ReplyDeleteGreenwoman,
ReplyDeleteIt's not your fault. Not only am I an impulse shopper, apparently, I'm an impulse poster.
If I have time to consider whether I really need something, I usually take it back.
Unless it's brownies. I love me some brownies.
What?!? I saw that on my feed and I was mentally doing a reminder to come back and read it when I'm on my desktop (iphones are too small, and my eyes have been strained lately from doing #WIPFTW).
ReplyDeleteOh well. Maybe next time...? ;)
Cherie,
ReplyDeleteI'm still unsure of what I should and shouldn't post on my blog. I was advised that posting from a wip isn't the best idea, lol.
Live and learn:)
As if life, not everyone survives. Ehehehehe. I can't wait to see what you do. Speaking of which...
ReplyDeleteKate,
ReplyDeleteUh oh, that sounds ominous...
