It's November 1st!

First post of November, first day I've started working on the third Blood Martyr book which I have tentatively titled Cry Wolf.

The rough premise I'm going with is, with the absence of Phoenix and his pack from Book 1, Centennial City is seen as the ideal place for a pack of wolves from St. Louis and starts a war in the Underworld that might leave the city in crumbles. And there's not a damn thing Tanith, our MC, can do about it.

I'm actually writing Cry Wolf as my 2013 Nanowrimo project and so far I'm ahead of my word count. Still, it's only the first day, so I'm waiting to see if I'll still feel energetic and go-get-em by the end of the first week.

While I'm writing the first draft of Cry Wolf, I am also working on the third draft of Bite, which is the second book of the Blood Martyr series. Bite was supposed to be released late June, early July but I had to write several more drafts when I noticed a bunch of strange plot holes that wouldn't go away no matter what I did to the current plot. I'm now almost finished with the third draft, which might turn out to be my last one. I'm quite excited and hope to have this book finished and out to the general public by the end of November. I've been working on this chapter of Tanith's life for way too long and I'm ready to have it out of my hair and finally move on.

As far as life on the non-writing front goes, it's...going. Hangzhou is relatively slow compared to Chicago, or maybe I just feel this way since I now stay at home all day and write pretty much all day and into half the night.

Well, that's it for today. I'd like to aim to post at least something every day, so we'll see if I'm back tomorrow!
