Joining the pursuit – National Novel Writing Month!

I’m joining National Novel Writing Month! Follow along with my progress!


Hi Everyone,

In an effort to get myself motivated and join up with some wonderfully like-minded people, I’m participating in National Novel Writing Month this year. I will be writing Steel Praetorian, novel number four of the Steam Empire Chronicles. Obviously, the novel will not be merely 50,000 words long, but around 90,000 words. *roughly the same size as Iron Tribune*

So what does that mean for me? Instead of writing a mere 1,600 words per night, I have to write about 3,000 words per night. Doable, just tricky! But with your support and backing I think it will be awesome! Here’s the link so you can follow me, check my progress, etc etc.

Ciao! and Wish me Luck!
