NaNoWriMo – Going Rogue

This year I’m breaking the rules. As I prepared for yet another November of intensive writing, I realized the motivation would be far better spent finishing the third book in the Talmanor trilogy. I have two other projects waiting in the wings and my inclination was to start on the new project. I keep wanting to push that third book aside. In my heart, I know that would be a mistake. I need to get it done. The goal of 50k words ought to just about finish it up.

If I go on to those other projects, it will be that much harder to get back to the trilogy. Never, would I have believed I’d get tired of this story, but I have. Don’t get me wrong, I love the story about Selarial, Alcar and the team, as I love the entire Universe in which they live. It’s time for some new storylines and some new characters though. The ancient history of Sorth beckons, as does the psychic cat detective, Ghost.

Yes, it’s time to close up this series and get the final book published. In a way, I will miss Selarial. I started writing with her and she’s been a long time companion. Who knows, maybe she and Alcar will find their way into another story in a some way. It’s really a very small universe after all and stranger things can happen.
