So, you've read The Dark Horseman books, but you can't wait until Last Rites comes out next year. Or you just have to know the backstory behind your favorite character. Well, here's your chance.

For the month of July, I'm going to explore the world of the Dark Horseman, and you can come with me.

This thread will be left open - post a comment with what you'd like me to write. These will all be short stories/vignettes/backstory, and I'll post them at

deptv. So what do you want to see?

Here's your chance to finally ask those questions that you thought we'd never get answered. All the stuff that didn't make it into the books. The backstories. The characters that don't get a lot of screen time. Or the what-ifs that you'd like to see...

The sky's the limit.

I'm now involved in three word challenges: a race against

irishninja for 12,00 words by January 22nd; one against

mimerki for 20,000+ by February 10th; and, of course, I'm involved in

novel_in_90. So I'll still be posting darlings and things like that, but I'll also be posting word counters for each of them.

Today, my to-do list looks like this:
- write up my bid for Yule 2007 (yes, I want to get this done today so I can have

dorio look at it before I submit it and forget something important)
- write at least 1k on Dreams at 1500 and still going
- write up Donovan's character sheet for Wings
- give up and start writing plot notes for the yet unnamed Sleeping Beauty plot bunny that refuses to die
~~- go to Eragon with the hubby and Donna (and Chinese food first! Yum!)~~
- design a Stonemarche bookmark for hubby for Birka
- crit the latest stuff I got from adr_forte

Here are my current word counters:

Race the Ninja! (due date Jan. 22)

8,142 / 12,000
(67.8%)

Race

mimerki! (we need a snappy title for this one too) (due by Feb. 10th)

0 / 20,000
(0.0%)

novel_in_90 (due April 6th)

10,596 / 67,500
(15.7%)

Dude, I'd better get busy!!!

ETA #1: Well, Eragon was pretty, and several of my fav actors (Rachel Weisz and Jeremy Irons) were in it, so I liked it. It was too fast, though. I have to read the book now. And back to writing!

A Light Through the Darkness

Of course I hit like a girl. Now take it like a man.

(writing) A challenge - of a sort....

So I am officially insane.
