NaNo happens every November and the goal is to write 50K on a story. Or if you're a 'radical', to get a story to 50K or finish it.
I'm working on Kate and Sam, trying to finally finish this after starting it last year. I only have to write 20K new words for NaNo, but I want this book complete - however many words that is at the end.
Working title of the series has been Love Hurts - When finding your true love requires a bit of heartbreak. But I'll probably shift to something different when I start marketing this.
Anyway, I've edited through the existing chapters and started writing new ones this weekend. Wish me luck to reach 50K by Thanksgiving!
Chapter One
20th high-school reunion. Back in the town
where dreams seemed possible and the future bright, where Kate's crush Sam
still lives with his seemingly perfect life.
Sam is waiting until after the reunion to
announce his divorce, but seeing Kate again rouses feelings long buried and he
wants her no matter how much it complicates the weekend.
But it’s clear Sam’s
attraction isn’t only physical and that makes Kate nervous. He likes a version of her, a projection that
hides a lot of flaws and painful memories.
He’s a Boy Scout. Freakin’ Clark Kent . A pillar of his community. He’s too good for her.
Why couldn’t Sam
have shown up to that reunion fat and bald?
This story is intended for readers 18 and
over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.
