Ookay. The blank page is filled. Half an hour in and I'm up to 492 words. You can track my progress by clicking the image to the left.

Here's a little teaser for you:

The Used Muse
Prologue
In the storefront window lay the body of a crumpled unicorn, its throat a red grinning gash, ruby droplets cascaded down its pure white coat. A tiny pair of hooves stained red, poked out from the unicorn’s tussled mane and in the dark, the cat could make out a tiny piece of red wax on lying on its shiny, muscular flank.

National Novel Writing Month Partcitipant!

I'm back after a long recovery period. I'm not 100%, but getting there. Hope to have my final surgery after Thankgiving and before the new year comes and then put this all behind me. To celebrate my new lease on life I have signed up for National Novel Writing Month to write my long mused urban fantasy tale, The Used Muse. Follow me here or at the official site for novel excerpts. Wish me luck! I'm plunging in a day behind with a 50k completion goal by the end of the month. I'm a glutton for punishment.

Good to be back, demon hunters. Thanks for following me on Facebook and keeping me sane.
