I just validated my NaNoWriMo win! The first draft of Chloe, Between the Cracks #4 clocked in at 114,699 words. 20 days of writing (since three days were Sundays and I don’t write on Sunday.) At least 5,000 words per day.
Did you miss my announcement last week? Stuff is happening around here!
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, read the rules at A Daily Rhythm. Anyone can play along!
Tis the season… for A Christmas Carol and special family readings as we count down the days to Christmas! Who hasn’t read some version of A Christmas Carol, or at least watched one of the movie versions? This advent reader will have you reading it in twenty-four readings from December 1 to Christmas Eve. How about this teaser from the December 3 reading:
“A poor excuse for picking a man’s pocket every twenty-fifth of December!” said Scrooge, buttoning his great-coat to the chin. “But I suppose you must have the whole day. Be here all the earlier next morning.”
The clerk promised that he would; and Scrooge walked out with a growl.

I love A Christmas Carol. Such beautiful writing and a great story.
This is my very favourite Dickens’ novel with Great Expectations running a close second. Here’s my teaser: http://wp.me/p4DMf0-12n
